44100 Hz X 1/88200-bit X 2 channels = 1 bit per second

1/88200 bit is such a small part of a whole bit that it's hard to tell
it's there; you might as well leave it out. Then you could transmit your
file with no bits at all and reconstitute the music with a Hieronymus
Machine¹. The patent², granted in 1949, has expired by now. Note that,
shortly after Hieronymus patented his machine, it was discovered that it
worked just as well when most of it was replaced by a mere schematic of
the relevant parts. I myself showed that a schematic of a transistor
amplifier gave precisely the same results as the schematic of the
original tube amplifier.
