I'm not so sure about that, I may be wrong. As I understand it,
samples/intervals/method are an approach on how to calculate the
actual media, they don't represent "particles" of the media
itself.

An you may be right about that density being just a multiplier, though
I'm not quiet sure if different densities don't have a different effect
than just multiplying the scattering/absorption/emission values...

Does someone have true insight into this (since you wrote "Should be,
anyway", I assuming you're not quiet sure about this either)?
