<<Stockham, inventor of digital audio recording, found that 50K was the
optimum sample rate--anything more would be overkill.>>

This is pretty similar to the conclusion of the folks at Pacific  
Microsonics (designers of the HDCD mastering process) who determined  
that 64k was the point beyond which no further audible benefit was  
attainable. Either one is well under 96k.
