If you use mplayer with jack output (-ao jack) then it will
*always* output in floating point format because that is the
only format that Jack accepts. And mplayer does not know which
soundcard Jack is using. Which means that
When starting jackd normally (with the alsa backend
and a 16bit sound
card), mplayer output is 16bit (that's not what I want).
can't be true.
As said, Jack is *always* using floating point. It will convert
the playback channels to whatever the sound card can handle.
