[music-dsp] What is so special about 44100 Hz ?

[Theo]

No, play the file, reconstruction filter in your (or at least mine) sound
card can't handle it.
Even when the sample is taken from a 18kHz sine, most real live
reconstruction filters are not steep enough to do the trick.
Don't forget this is torture to demonstrate the limits of real systems vs.
theory,  not a musical context.
