[comp.dsp] pointer to sci.electronics confusion

ruck@sphere.UUCP (John R Ruckstuhl Jr) (06/11/90)

In sci.electronics there is much confusion and misinformation in the
thread of discussion begun by the article:

    > From: maddog@athena.mit.edu (Matthew J Marjanovic)
    > Subject: My CD player is running slow!
    > Message-ID: <1990Jun2.182334.21396@athena.mit.edu>

The issues in confusion include reconstruction from samples and pitch
modification in audio signals.
I have seen several iterations of "No, that's wrong... this is the way
it *really* is" in followups.

I invite followups to the article in sci.electronics which correct the
misconceptions present.

Please state your qualifications when posting.  It will then be less
likely that your attempts to educate will be negated by a followup from
someone less informed.

Regards,
John.
