Hi all,

I just noticed this:

    https://sourceforge.net/p/flac/feature-requests/91/

a request for support of 32 bit audio data. The request has been around
since 2008.

Had two inial impressions:

* Would adding this break brackwards compatibility too badly? Obviously
  decoding of 32 bit encoded data would not work with older versions of
  flac.
* This is nuts. 24 bits has a dynamic range of ~140dB which is roughly
  the difference between a quiet whisper in a quiet room, to the sound
  of a jet engine at 10 meters. Surely that is enough?

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Erik
