Is this true? No WAV can also contain 32 bit float, but you hit the 2Gig limit pretty quickly. > (I don't know of any > programs I can play them in, anyway; I just save to WAVs.) sndfile-play (comes with libsndfile can play them) and any program which uses libsndfile (Sweep, audacity, ardour, ecasound etc) can read them. > Is there any format that does do this, Sorry, does what? > that could then be normalized and > reduced to regular WAV after the recording? Look at sndfile-convert (also part of libsndfile).
