[net.audio] Digitally encoded square waves

If you've read this far, you've probably seen a picture of the
output of a CD player when trying to reproduce a square wave.
Doesn't look much like a square wave, does it?

Well, if you take that waveform and sample it at the appropriate
rate, you will get a series of samples that are INDISTINGUISHABLE
from samples of a square wave.  What reason is there to choose one
over the other on playback?
