That's called raw PCM. ;)

It's not a good idea. It imposes latencies and there's actually no need
for compressed data as long as there is plenty of bandwidth (and there
will be, since we're talking LAN)


Perhaps having multiple samplewidths is also unnecessarily complicated.
As Joerg has pointed out, simply using single precision floats would fit
them all. Conversion could still be done on the host CPU, if need be.
(but there won't be a need for that if using jackified apps)


Just my $0.02
