[alsa-devel] [PATCH - speaker-test 1/1] speaker-test: add --force-frequency option to allow hz outside range

What is the reasoning behind the limit, protecting speaker hardware,
hearing? I think common speakers have frequency response up to 15 or 16kHz
or so, so maybe a bit higher default limit of 8kHz would be okay.

I was doing some tests around 20kHz - 22kHz (to test my hearing and freq
response of my 25kHz rated headphones), so still see the merit in a force
option for people who are certain they want to test that high.

New patch: Added min of 1.0Hz for force option, changed default max to
8kHz, fixed typo in flag name:
