Signed/unsigned is reversed about cpal HOT 3 CLOSED

How large were the fluctuations in frequency? Around 30-40hz? If they were small fluctuations, they might be because of the phase's resolution (32-bit floating point) changing to a f64 might fix this?

As for the signed/unsigned, I'm not sure (don't have time to check atm).

I don’t know how big the fluctuations are in Hz, but it is all pretty much in the range of one note difference. Thinking about it again, I now know exactly what the problem is: it is indeed a floating-point problem. You get rounding errors, because the accumulator grows very rapidly, so 0.03 becomes small in comparison with the accumulator quickly, and precision is lost when adding. The proper way to deal with this is to use compensated summation, but in this case there is an easier solution, which I happened to implement accidentally: use multiplication by a counter instead of addition. So I opened #40 because I thought this was neater than the manual Iterator implementation, and it happens to fix this fluctuation as well!

This has been fixed in #51.
