I just saw the "Pal [sic] and Audio" article in AmigaMail (a support
publication from CBM, contact CATS for info).  The article states you
should look at GfxBase->DisplayFlags to find out if you're running on
a PAL or NTSC machine, for determining clock rates (to accuarately
generate audio frequencies and periods).

Why not use SysBase->VBlankFrequency instead?  Wouldn't it be more
accurate?

 PAL    3.546895                 50Hz
 ---- = -------- = 0.990878      ---- = 0.833333
 NTSC   3.579545                 60Hz
