I wrote 16 bit because that's all that you would be able to get with the current driver; C-Media's Windows driver doesn't support 24 bits either. I don't know why, there's evidence that the hardware does support 24 bits. (I'm currently trying to find the register bit(s) that would enable it.) The SPDIF output, however, _does_ support 24 bits, as long as you don't use Windows.
