This got me thinking, what are the key audio patents, has anyone ever done a compendium or listing?
If not, that would make a great ARSCJ article! You could use as a model Kellogg's excellent summary
of sound-for-picture developments:
http://www.aes.org/aeshc/docs/smpte/movie.sound/audio_engineering_in_motion_pictures.html
Kellogg is worth mining for patent numbers, too.
