 Professional audio equipment often comes with 24-bit audio samples and
 several -only- support 24-bit samples.  ALSA has support for 24-bit but
 PulseAudio does not, instead relying upon plughw to auto-convert
 everything to 16-bits.  This conversion however loses information and use
 of this tradeoff seems odd given that much of PulseAudio is designed to
 maintain the quality of the audio signal.
