Yes, I've heard those - although they're in the audio, they're
supposed to be stripped before the audience gets the signal, no?

With the advent of software modems and ubiquitous sound cards,
you'd think we'd see more occurences of "hold your microphone
up to the speaker (or earpiece) to receive data". Or a little
data in the audio track on a CD - it's today's equivalent of
"Paul is dead," no?
