and one might well call offset, the constant voltage you have to add to
make them equal. I would say rather that this is not a good way to
measure offset except for symmetrical waveforms. Note that this kind of
"DC" will not charge a capacitor, for example.

Anyway, we understand each other now, and I think we are all agreed
that whatever we call them, these shapes are the kind we very much _do_
want to see across our speaker terminals.
