For example, an audio sample really is an measurement of signal at an instantaneous point in time - and is not (as commonly drawn) a value held over the sample period. This is very important when you do the math of signal processing.

Of course, measuring that value occurred over a period of time, and somewhere in the path from ADC to sample file, that aspect must be properly dealt with (usually in the hardware.)
