Well, theoretically, yes, you just decrease the sample period of the sound
system, and then just play some very high notes, but I'd be very surprised
if the actual sound hardware can come close to coping with this - it seems
to have a certain amount of trouble working to its specification...

You can get it out of the VIDC, but probably not much further, particularly
not past the low pass filter.  :-)
