how can you tell if you are REALLY getting a 24bit signal. (IE: is there somehting that will tell you what the bitrate is of the signal its being fed, instead of selecting it)
for example, i can record on the pda with the pdaudio card, inputting a 16bit signal, but selecting 24bits, and it will record a 24bit wav. (obviously its padding) so when u open the wav in wavelab it says 24bit, etc etc. so i cant really verify if the signal is really 24bits.
the reason i want to know is, i have supposedly done what i need to do to make the SBM1 output 24bit instead of 16. but... how can i VERIFY the signal is really 24bits?
