HIgher sampling frequency allows more samples per second, meaning that you
can aproximate the waveform that much more accurately. It doesnt have to
have anythign at all to do with higher frequencies in the actual music.
Harmonics out of the range of human hearing DO affect the way you hear the
frequencies that you CAN hear....Audio theory 101....
