My code it is all at least 32bit internally (much is 64bit) and all the
I/O is 32bit. IMHO working with anything else on modern cpus is silly.

Dithering down can be done as the last step in a jack process (if you have
a 16bit card) and you have the choice of rectangular (crap, very fast)
triangular (OK, fast) or shaped w/ error feedback (expensive but good).

I strongly recommend some sort of dithering if you're monitoring or
recording offf a 16bit card. I'l commit some changes later today that make
it more efficient.
