Why does this mp3 library allow negative sample rates

@mhoye To clarify is an mp3 reader not an mp3 writer

@mhoye Not to suggest I *don't* deserve to be booed, but the seeming arbitrariness of this response makes me wonder if I miscommunicated something

@mcc I was hoping you could turn the knobs all the way in the wrong direction and hear some genuinely weird sounds, that's all.

@mhoye ah, yes, that *is* an actual disappointment

one time i told "Audacity" (a very good audio editor for early mac os x) to generate a 0 hz tone. It generated 10 seconds of what was very clearly bad memory from the heap, then crashed about six seconds later (luckily I somehow managed to preserve the output before this happened)

it was like "dooodleoodleoodleoodle" followed by a series of clicks, it sounded wierd

@mcc @mhoye ever put a data CD on a audio system? Bet it was much the same if so
