By thinking twice, I may have been fooled by 2 different bugs:

1) The bogus peak on stairs, visible on Audacity waveforms, including with 
simple sine wave testcase.
Definitely wrong, might come from wrong upsampling combined to LMC1992 
bass/treeble, as Christian suspects.

2) The 7 KHz artifact in Lethal Xcess music, visible on Audacity spectrogram.
This is the most annoying issue for the ears, like ultrasounds inserted in 
the music at some places.
Listening carefully to the music and digidrums at lower rate, I'm finally 
not sure at all that it comes from the DMA sound. That might explain things.
That bogus sound may be simply generated by the YM-2149, due to bogus input 
or emulation.

There is no clue that 1) and 2) are related.

Strange coincidence:
I have reported the "restore memory snapshot" issue in other thread.
When I press AltGr+l, it freezes (bug), but most of the time I hear that 
continuous 7 KHz high pitched sound.
Coincidence?

But strangely, there is no such 7 KHz issue in Lethal Xcess *ST* mode (even 
if display fails due to another Hatari bug).
Maybe the ST digidrums resets some YM registers, avoiding the STe 7 KHz bug...

Really, we must be sure to avoid confusing between different issues when 
investigating.
