how do you compute that ?... how is the pressure wave supposed to relate 
to the digital wave ? I don't expect it to be a 1:1 mapping... my 
mechanics is a bit rusty. If [osc~ 1000] direct to [dac~] comes out as a 
±1V peak potential, then what is [osc~ 2000] coming out as, and then how 
do you convert that to intensity (ampère) and power (watt), and then the 
kinetic energy it produces corresponds to which speed and ± peak 
distance ? (i remember that there's ½mv² somewhere in there... and there's 
réactance and impédance...)

because I can't pretend to remember my grade 12 mechanics and grade 13 
electricity so well, I concentrated on the æsthetics of it, but I'd be 
very curious about the physics of it. So, if you (or Martin Peach or 
other) can teach me a paragraph or two about this, I would be grateful.

me neither, really. ;)
