hey, maybe we should have the driver detect if there are too many
low-frequency waves being emitted and warn the user that they're going to
blow their speakers...
or we could also add a feature to those drivers for soundcards which
support 96KHz output and have very high quality DACs to detect for extremely
high frequency waves and pop up a dialog box saying "WARNING! Extremely
high-frequency noises detected; if you have a dog, please move them more
than 50 metres (150 feet) away from your sound source or they might
whimper/get horny." of course, you'd vary the 50 metre figure depending on
the number of high-frequency waves emitted and their amplitude. anybody
want to do some research on this and implement it in the general snd driver?
sheesh.
