Well nearly everyone thinks that the shannon theorem is perfectly adequate for using with audio
signals.So they think that 44,1kHz Sampling frequency is enough for everything.
But i think it is not cause we have a stereo signal here and stereo means that the timing
(diffenence between left and right signal) is very important.Our brain calculates 3D-Room-information out of the difference between the two signals.
I'll explain that more detailed and scientific later that day, so everyone can understand this.
