With e.g. another arch's iso, it's

$ file install59.iso                                                           
install59.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'OpenBSD/macppc 5.9 Install CD '

I don't think that being playable as a CDR has anything to do with it
- did it just happen to match one of the following magic(5) values?

$ grep -Fr 44.1 .
./magdir/animation:>2      byte&0x0C       0x00           \b, 44.1 kHz
./magdir/animation:>2      byte&0x0C       0x00           \b, 44.1 kHz
./magdir/animation:#>>>2      byte&0x0C       0x00           \b, 44.1 kHz
./magdir/animation:>2      byte&0x3c       0x10           \b, 44.1 kHz
./magdir/audio:>>>2597  belong&0xfffff0         0x0ac440        \b, 44.1 kHz
./magdir/audio:>>17     belong&0xfffff0         0x0ac440        \b, 44.1 kHz
./magdir/dolby:>4      byte&0xc0       0x40    44.1 kHz,

I have seen other files reported as "44.1 kHz"
when there was no sampling involved.
