Question...! Am I correct in assuming that the actual digits to which these
pointers "point" are NOT the actual audio content as sampled each 44.1th
of a second...but, rather, digits which have to be converted (digitally)
to those "sonic content" bits?

as a representation of the sonic waveform recorded thereon...?!)
