[PD] writesf~: 96kHz/24bit to 44.1k/16bit?

[Miller Puckette]

Oops.  It looks like I never put this in the help window.

"open -bytes 3 x.wav" will open a 24-bit stream.  You can also do 32-bit
floats, but only in ".snd" format (I didn't know at the time that wav
files apparently can hold floating point too.)

cheers
