I just want the pilot tone. That's 19 kHz, a sample rate of 48 kHz will do fine. A residual of this shows up in every spectrum I take from my FM receiver. The only purpose of generating the 19 kHz pilot without the actual difference signal would be to make the 'Stereo' indication light up while the signal is actually mono :-) > You are saying the 192 kHz soundcards roll off supersonic frequencies > between the DAC and the output jack? Or something else? Most do, as they should. Any signal above 25 kHz or so is just good to blow up your power amp.
