Which is interesting because 44100Hz was chosen because it had 294*3
samples per 50Hz (half-)frame, 245*3 samples per 60Hz (half-)frame.

But of course, with separately coded/packaged video and audio streams
(and video being no longer strongly associated with PAL and NTSC formats
and resolutions), the interest in clean ratios has declined.
