[sdiy] sound - physics and physiology

[Scott]

Does anyone care to get into the maybe deep subject about log vs linear
in audio?  Why do we use audio taper pots for audio.  Does it have to do
w/ the physics of the sound, or our perception of the sound?  If it has
to do w/ our perception of the sound, why do we perceive things
logarithmically (or is it exponentially?)

Let me know if anyone wants to tackle this discussion.. (Ive obviously
got too much time to sit and think today)
