Output data format!

I have question about output data format. I have always use 32bit fixed-point and my sound was great until i install 0.7 rc6 . Now with new foobat rc6 my sound is very creak  (0.7 rc4 works fine). I discover  if i set 24bit fixed-point everything works good. Can someone tell me why i can't use in new foobar 32bit fixed-point ?? I have SB Live 5.1.

There are two separate problems.
First, you don't really know what "output format" setting does, and you are only wasting your CPU cycles by using above 16bit on sblive.
Second, there is probably some kind of bug in RC6 preventing 32bit mode from working, but no consumer soundcard supports above 24bit so noone serious could have noticed it.
