[Jack-Devel] Is there a way to force Jack to use 32-bit audio?

[lowkeyoutlaw]

Hello! I use Jack to multitrack out of Akai MPC software into my DAW
(Cakewalk). My audio interface supports 32-bit audio, and I use 32-bit audio
driver bit depth when not using Jack (such as recording vocals into a
finished instrumental in Cakewalk) so I know it works well.

The problem is, when I do use Jack to connect MPC to Cakewalk, in Cakewalk's
settings, the bit audio driver depth is stuck on 24 bit & greyed out so I
can't change it. I want to be able to record my MPC beats into Cakewalk at
32 bit. Some say it's overkill but it's impossible to make 32-bit clip &
distort & Cakewalk does all its internal work at 32 bit. In 24-bit Cakewalk
has to convert the audio to 32 bit first in real-time, which causes a
performance hit. My CPU usage is precious because I know I'll fill my
projects up with resource-hungry plug-ins. I really want to use 32 bit
pretty bad for those and a few other reasons. 

Is there a way to force Jack to use 32-bit audio? Thanks for your time!
