[net.audio] Square Wave "experiment"

   Well, there's nothing like being critized for something you didn't say...
The posting of my little "square wave experiment" was simply to point out
that imperfect reproduction of a 22kHz square wave (44kHz sampling) has
nothing to do with the digitization process ITSELF.  The problems come from the
post processing of the D/A output.  I NEVER said there could be any distinction
between a square, sine, or any other periodic wave shape at half the sampling
frequency.  Since my critic and I are in complete agreement on this point I
won't elaborate.

    As for the accusation that I didn't really do the "experiment",
they can try it themselves.  There is no way to answer a person who, when
presented with facts, simply denies their existence.
