ACK.... correct me if I am wrong, but I always thought that "SAMPLING RATE"
applied to ANALOG --> DIGITAL conversion and NOT the other way around.  I
believe that the NeXT machine reproduces "CD" quality sound, thus 44.1Khz
is the frequency at which the machine takes a 16 bit quantity and USES the
Moto DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR to convert said 16 bit quantity into an ANALOG
voltage level to be sent to your audio equipemnet.
