Nice meditation but not related to the referenced article.  The article
is concerned about non-linear quantization.  That's "exactly the same
problem" as using a good 48kHz to 44.1kHz resampling algorithm on
uLaw-quantized audio data rather than linearly-quantized data.

Entirely different problem to mess up on.
