Dan:
Think of it as the opposite of averaging data. to average,
shift right and get twice the number of samples.  To jitter,
shift left one space and add 1 bit randomly + or - to each
one.  Suddenly duplicate numbers slide off the top of one
another.  Particularly useful for plotting data or making
sounds,the blurry data is actually more usable than the
original.
