Also, won't the fix help save a bit of energy, because the currents flowing through the speaker's coil are lower? *hides*

The constant component also does strange things to mxing, depending on how you mix.

I have resigned myself to the fact that I will not live long enough to take a true DC measurement.

In the real world, when that sound comes out of the speaker, it will sound different. This is why amplifiers incorporate a 5 Hz high-pass filter to try to bring this DC offset to a minimum.

The reason is that real-world speaker drivers are non-linear in their response. They have mechanisms that are constantly bringing that speaker cone back to 0.
