Comment #7 on issue 3006 by [email protected]: Inaccurate sin/cos values
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=3006

Responding to #5. Yes I checked the differences. One of the sample points that is different is caused by computing sin(880*2*pi*55125/44100) = sin(2200*pi). Since 2200*pi cannot be represented exactly in floating-point, what you have is a value that is close to a multiple of pi. In fact, it differs from the exact multiple by about -7.057e-14, so the sin(2200*pi) should be near -7.057e-14, not 0.

As for hearing a difference, that might be true in this case. But in the early days of CD, people COULD hear the digitization in very silent passages, so some CD players added a dither signal to mask the digitization.
