This is the one that should do the trick?

Dunno. Also depends on the hardware and driver.
As I udnerstand it, data arrives at the card via TOSlink or coax in
16-bit samples.
The card accepts the data and offers a 32-bit value to the driver.
The driver can, at will, drop teh lowest 16 or 8 bits by specifying the
wanted bitdepth. (useful in case we have 24-bit data etc)

Then I'd just play a CD and record at 32-bit, 24-bit and 16-bit.
The lower remaining bits (if present) should be all 0.
Compare the recordings in a sound editor, do a hexdump, etc.
Short recordings will suffice.
