| I believe the UK Classic FM station use the
| original music CD for transmission (they
| simultaneously broadcast in digital radio
| format ), but if (on my PC) the source is analogue

32kHz is enough for 15kHz bandwidth.

| This would be strange behaviour for a station

REMEMBER:
ALL FM STEREO BROADCASTS ARE LIMITED TO 30HZ...15KHZ !
It mostly have freq range little thinner, but never "thicker".
