Nice arguement here! I totally agree.  Just want to point out, though,
that any stock Amiga can be pushed to produce *56* kHz mixing
frequency 4-channel sound.  I've done it on every Amiga I've owned.
Plus, those 4 channels can be multiplexed all the way up to 32
channels for playing S3M files and other high channel format music
files.
