Isn't that obvious why he wants more than 16 bits? With a receiver using more than that it could be possible to eliminate AGC all together and just feed something with 100 dB of dynamics into WSJT. That would be great. But if the code is written such that it only uses 16 bits that would of course require some serious coding efforts.

I have asked here earlier, but not got any reply; Wouldn't it be wise to split the code into two projects? A library for underlying DSP and then a GUI application as a separate project?

That would benefit experiments with the signal processing, it would also make it possible to fix GUI bugs independent of the DSP stuff. And it would make it easier to integrate the "WSJT-X modes" into other applications while on the other hand it would be easier to get new modes and/or improvements into WSJT-X.
A no-brainer, I think...

Currently WSJT-X will only use 16-bit.

Our current recommendation is to set the audio level in WSJT-X at 60dB and use 
slow AGC.  Slow AGC should prevent the AGC from increasing the signal level 
during the quiet periods in FT8.

Hello. Who knows about internals wsjt-x - can I get benefits then using 24 bit 
audio format on duc/develop radio (I want to moderate AGC slope and pass to ft8 
decoder more then 16 bit audio signal).
