[vorbis-dev] comparison of beta2 and beta3 encoder quality

[Michael Smith]

>Will vorbis never support 24 bit ( or more ) input and/or output ?

Vorbis doesn't use integer samples internally at all - so it doesn't care.
It'd be easy to change an encoder/decoder to use 24 bit samples. 

However, vorbis is a perceptual audio codec. As such, you can't,
realistically, get 24 bits of precision anyway. It'd internally treat it
the same as it does 16 bit samples (though the original input data would
have more precision, so the results might have slightly better precision).
