This helps to explain the choice of sampling frequency for the CD,
because the number of video lines, frame rate and bits per line
end up dictating the sampling frequency one can achieve, that
sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz was thus adopted in the Compact Disc.

Except that 44.1 isn't exactly the same as 44.056, so there's a minimal
pitch shift involved with PCM F-1 (but not PCM 1610) transfers. People
fought for years about whether it could be audible, which it probably
can't be.

It's about 1.72 cents. Not much, but it might be audible in ... sort of
a tuning context.

In performance? No. I've seen tuning *offsets* for some instruments 10x
that.
