That's true. However, as seen on the DSP generation of Pink Noise web
site[1] "pink noise" typically refers simply to noise with PSD
pro****tional to 1/f instead of 1/f^alpha. Therefore some distinction
must be made between these two. (Of course the correct way would be to
always talk about 1/f^alpha, with alpha=1 being a special case, but this
is currently uncommon.)
In any case, my code allows the limiting frequency to be made
arbitrarily low (though of course this slows down the generation a bit,
as generating a sample is O(n) for the number of poles).
