It's not really "adding zeroes" but just putting a 16-bit number in the
24-bit slot that s/pdif provides.  

At less than full volume, the additional bits are used to _maintain_
the resolution of the original signal, but you can't effectively
_increase_ it. If you want to ensure 16-bit passthrough with the
additional bits being zeroes, choose "fixed digital volume" in player
settings.

Again, there is no way to "increase bit depth" - you can't recover
information that isn't there. Also, whatever processor you want to use
should not have a problem with a 24-bit input. If it doesn't know how
to deal with 24-bit then it will only look at 16 of them.
