Great references. Thanks.
I guess, though, beyond simple grunts and nudges, in the general direction
of food, I'm thinking of a lot greater potential data density.
I'm thinking that if we can send paragraphs in seconds on two carrier notes
that, combined, sound like a yodel, or on a carrier that sounds to the
casual listener like white noise, and if we can hide information in pictures
without noticeably changing them (steganography), that critters *could* be
saying a great deal more than "chickadee dee dee", "moo", ...or "buzz".
