 Hi!

 I read ticket#355, but my problem inside is completely different, while
 have same target - support 24-bit operation.
 My goal is to make recording in Ubuntu/Linux in 24-bit formats via LAN.

 I search in entire world for any recording software for Ubuntu which has
 native support for Pulseaudio. I found nothing except built-in sound
 recorder, but it limited internally to 16 bit.

 Q1: Maybe you know maybe this stuff really exist?
 Next I see one way - using 'padsp' as PA<->OSS converter.

 Q2: There is no PA<->ALSA converter exists? or i'm wrong?
 But while using 'padsp' there is a problem:

 a) 'padsp mhwaveedit': When I select 24 or 32 bit for recording, I get
 'This format is not supported by the input driver!' error. Recording using
 8/16 bit works fine.

 b) 'padsp audacity': no errors, but recorded file is really only 16-bit
 resolution.
 Q3: Can you help please? Or tell me where I wrong.
 Thanks!

 N.B. My soundcard loads on pulseaudio server without errors, with s32le or
 float32le formats, unlike as in ticket #355. So I think the problem may be
 in 'padsp'.
