Oops. It looks like I never put this in the help window.
"open -bytes 3 x.wav" will open a 24-bit stream. You can also do 32-bit floats, but only in ".snd" format (I didn't know at the time that wav files apparently can hold floating point too.)

writesf always uses 16bit and writes a 44.1khz (also if it's the wrong sample rate). i had once the impression that you can really hear the conversion from 32bit to 16bit and i also would like to record a 24bit or 32bit file, but nobody fixed writesf since i asked 2 month ago. seems that none of the developers is interested to get a decent audio quality when recording ;-).

I'm using Pd on WinXP with an M-Audio Quattro, ASIO at96kHz/24Bit. That all seems to work fine. But when I use writesf~ and open the written files in Soundforge they're 44.1kHz/16bit. I wouldn't mind so much about the sampling rate because I could speed it up to 96, but it looks like I lose the bit depth that I was working with.
It doesn't look like writesf~ has any options to change thebitrate that it writes at. Is there a way to write 96kHz/24Bit files? Am I missing something? Is there another external (in windows) that can do this?
