Hmm ... ecasound currently pipes to the flac commandline tools for
reading/writing flac files. I gather from this thread that those tools
don't handle 24 bits, yet (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Kai, or 
Erik if you know, how involved is adding flac support via libsndfile
to ecasound? 

I'm just wondering if it would be simple enough for me to try helping
with it ...
