-\subsection{Output sample rate}
-
-The output sample rate tells ScummVM how many sound samples to play per channel
-per second. There is much that could be said on this subject, but most of it
-would be irrelevant here. The short version is that for most games 22050 Hz is
-fine, but in some cases 44100 Hz is preferable. On extremely low-end systems
-you may want to use 11025 Hz, but it's unlikely that you have to worry about
-that.
-
-To elaborate, most of the sounds ScummVM has to play were sampled at either
-22050 Hz or 11025 Hz. Using a higher sample rate will not magically improve the
-quality of these sounds. Hence, 22050 Hz is fine.
-
-Some games use CD audio. If you use compressed files for this, they are
-probably sampled at 44100 Hz, so for these games that may be a better choice of
-sample rate.
-
-When using the Adlib, FM Towns, PC Speaker or IBM PCjr music drivers, ScummVM
-is responsible for generating the samples. Usually 22050 Hz will be plenty for
-these, but there is at least one piece of Adlib music in Beneath a Steel Sky
-that will sound a lot better at 44100 Hz.
-
-Using frequencies in between is not recommended. For one thing, your sound card
-may not support it. In theory, ScummVM should fall back on a sensible frequency
-in that case, but don't count on it. More importantly, ScummVM has to resample
-all sounds to its output frequency. This is much easier to do well if the
-output frequency is a multiple of the original frequency.
