There has been discussion about how the audio can be improved on the Amiga.
One person suggested that CBM provide us with 8 channels of audio.  Two
channels of stereo are fine.  What needs to be improved is the frequency
response.  It would be nice to recreate any sound from 20hz-20khz.  I
believe that to do this we must increase the sampling rate.  Is this
possible?  Which chip handles audio?  Is it the Paula?  Does anyone know
the audio specs of the Amiga.  For instance, how much stereo seperation is
there?  Is it possible for the Amiga to generate Dolby encoded Surround Sound?
Rec.audio fans speak!
