Careful, though, if you convert it back to 32 or 16 bit. Especially if you are using expensive gear: http://www.around.com/ariane.html
It's not just converting to lesser number of bits. I'd also think that they converted it to int16 (similar to the format of wav files). The float16 format didn't exist back then, and is still not supported by hardware outside of graphics cards of the 2000's.
Also, they got an overflow and not a lack of precision. Lack of precision doesn't matter when you get an overflow. Overflow also doesn't matter when the number is used for entirely the wrong thing.
