I started doing some fooling with voice digitization and ran into some gaps
in my education that I have to brush-up on to help me understand it all :-)

A good source of information can be found in the AT&T Technical Journal,
volume 65, issue 5 (Sept/Oct 1986) entitled "Speech Processing Technology."
Back issues of this can be obtained by calling (800) 432-6600 (this is the
AT&T customer information center).  It has a lot of speech processing
techniques as they apply to telephony, but it also explains a lot about the
mathematical methods used to process sound digitally.

From what I understand, there is a lot of theory behind speech processing
beyond the basic A/D converter and sampling.  It would be interesting to
see a discussion about this on the net, but I'm afraid that I wouldn't have
a whole lot to offer thus far.
