Actually, there are five things that every idmer is assumed to know, and
will hereby get tossed around as analytic to our very existence:
1. the special theory of relativity
2. the second law of thermodynamics
3. the Nyquist sampling theorem (described above)
4. the asymptotic equipartition theorem (rel. information to entropy)
5. the fact that Pete Namlook is a god, above all other
;=)
Actually, remind me not to write anything at 8 in the morning. What I was
really trying to say was that sampling at 44.1 kHz is of no consequence, and
that the only limitations to digital media is the fact you have to quantize
amplitudes. In other words, CD's are basically as good as _ideal_ analog
media.
