The upper limit of human perception of sound (note that I didn't say
hearing!) can be more like 27kHz. The 16-20kHz limit is only valid for a
headphone/signal generator type setup. Also note that European TVs run
at 15kHz (50Hz frame rate).

That is well off topic, but we shouldn't be too dogmatic about anything
concerning human perception. 

Dan raises an interesting point, so perhaps we need to find out who can
see through their 87 filters :-)
