[pd] 100000hz+

[padawan12]

This is as expected. What Chris says is no surprise. If you render the output
to a .wav file it is captured as a snapshot and the sample rate no longer 
has any effect (other than to change the overall playback rate). The problem
others were trying to explain is that the synthesis patch is not independent
of sample rate, so using the same Pd patch at different sample rates will
produce different results. If you're recording it the problem doesn't exist.

What does 100,000Hz sound like?

sr/2 is the Nyquist frequency which for a 44100Hz system is 22050Hz.
so 100,000 mod 44100 = 11800Hz which is less than 22050Hz so it doesn't
get reflected. If it was, say 30,000Hz then you would actually hear
30,000Hz - 22,050Hz = 7950Hz. Think of sampling like a hall of mirrors
where the frequencies get reflected at both ends.
