If I found the correct manual for the M-audio interface the original author used to record the FLAC files, the line in and line out were both capped at a 48KHz sample rate.

Our Labs love the snow. They’re 11 & 12, and it makes them act like puppies.
“He got you, didn’t he?”
If I won the lottery, I might not tell anyone, but there would be signs.
The back story on how that performance came together is amazing, too. And so many of the songs have cool stories behind them (or after them, like Onyx & Biohazard).
I mean, the movie was the excuse to make the soundtrack. But who cares? They made the soundtrack.
