1 Since 38449056c293 input plugins can open audio output in their's native format,

3 in prefs win (currently FMT_S16_NE and FMT_S24_NE). Dithering will be applied automatically if

4 precision loss expected (except FMT_*32_*, on which dithering can cause clipping).

10 1. postproc_flow can deal only with S16_NE streams, so it will be bypassed in 24bit mode, i.e.: no vis, no equalizer, no softvolume.

11 2. Currently none of output plugins supports 24bit output :)

15 1. It's easy to produce S16_NE stream directly from decoder's output special for vis_flow, as far as the latter has no output.

16 2. Switch equalizer and softvolume (and, in perspective, DSP PAPI) to floating-point. Another solution can cause precision

17 loss and avoid dithering. Why floating-point, not fixed? Because:

19 2. Floating-point is standard for inter-component and inter-process audio exchange (LADSPA, JACK etc.).
