If you use mplayer with jack output (-ao jack) then it will *always* output in floating point format because that is the only format that Jack accepts. And mplayer does not know which soundcard Jack is using. Which means that > When starting jackd normally (with the alsa backend and a 16bit sound > card), mplayer output is 16bit (that's not what I want). can't be true. As said, Jack is *always* using floating point. It will convert the playback channels to whatever the sound card can handle. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
