<p>Ummm....so why do they make CD players with oversampling,
bitstream, etc.?

<p>Even with 44.1kHz you can still get aliasing in the sampling and
lose/create signals.

<p>Imagine I have a 22.5kHz sine wave and I sample it at 44.1kHz.

Depending on the pahse of the moon, I could sample it either
at the peaks or at the zero-crossing points. One would produce
a signal at the end of the day, the other would produce silence.

Signal processing is a lot more complex than "a 44.1kHz sample
rate can produce a 22.5kHz waveform".
