I meant the mathematic inverse-function of a logarithmic curve, which should
be some kind of exponential one. The caps normal behaviour is, of course, to
charge logarithmically, and discharge exponentially. So, one should be able
to get an exponentially rising waveform as a result by inverting the voltage. 
But, as you said, it will propably sound the same as an exponential decaying
wave...
