It's not possible to generate a perfect acoustic sawtooth, partly for the reasons that you stated (that a conventional transducer would have to move with infinite speed), but also because once a pressure change is sufficiently abrupt, it starts behaving differently to normal sound waves - see https://en.wikipedia.org/ ...

How do you make a sawtooth wave?
One way to generate a sawtooth is to slowly charge a capacitor via a constant current source, then quickly discharge the capacitor by shorting it out. By repeating this process, a sawtooth waveform is created.
Is used to generate sawtooth waveform?
A sawtooth wave generator can be constructed using a transistor and a simple 555 timer IC, as shown in the below circuit diagram. It consists of a transistor, a capacitor, a Zener diode, resistors from a constant current source that are used to charge the capacitor.
What causes a sawtooth wave?
The sawtooth wave is the form of the vertical and horizontal deflection signals used to generate a raster on CRT-based television or monitor screens. ... On the wave's "cliff", the magnetic field suddenly collapses, causing the electron beam to return to its resting position as quickly as possible.
Is a sawtooth wave complex?
Sawtooth Waves
The sawtooth wave contains a fundamental and both ODD and EVEN HARMONICS. ... The more harmonics included in the complex wave series, the better complex wave-shape is produced, nearer to a perfect square, triangular or sawtooth shape.
