VST3 does support double precision samples, and for whatever inexplicable
reason even makes it the default.
Thanks to Robin Gareus for pointing this out.
Also, to follow on from something Fons wrote: an actual 32 bit sample value
would have at least the low 4-6 bits representing brownian (atomic) motion.
That's pretty crazy.
Adding to this, even 16 bit has a dynamic range of over 90dB. There is a quite
dramatice demo at that depth of a garage door being slammed after the
demonstrater talks rather quietly - sorry, I can't find it now.
By the time you reach 24bit, you're well below any reasonable accoustic noise
level, and are getting into the region of thermal noise in analogue equipment.

Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
