Perhaps you can suggest a situation where the sort of thing people are likely to do in SoX (or whatever) will exceed 32-bit processing. I can understand needing some headroom in the processing chain over the 16 bits of CD-quality, and I can understand that 64 bits provides a much greater dynamic range, but is that amount of dynamic range ever actually necessary? You can simultaneously mix 65,536 individual 16-bit sources in 32 bits, and that would be one heck of a sound stage. Can you tell the difference in a blind listening test between 32-bit processing and 24-bit processing, let alone 64-bits vs 32-bits?
It's a more intelligent approach to understand how much resource is required and only throw that much at it. Just because you "can" doesn't mean you "have to", and being disparaging about other users' choices is narrow-minded and insulting.
