Chris, A little peeve with some so called pro audio servers is their inability to act as a 'digital wire', ie: what goes in comes out, totally unchanged. As an example, there are times you may want the same exact 16 bits you send out of app to arrive at the audio device unmolested. Jack,

Chris, On IEEE 32 bit floats the mantissa is 23 bit, so there might be situations where you loose the LSB. And that was the only point - a pro audio chain should be able to support digital wire capability. This has nothing to do with the original poster's issues, so I changed the subject.
