Unfortunately for me this means that if I want to avoid the extra discretization distortion that comes with truncating those bottom 8-bits I'll have to add a dither function to my DAC.

We can put msbits hwparams to indicate that only 24bits are used. But most apps simply ignore this and checks only the format. So, I don't think this would help in practise.

Thanks Takashi but it's probably not worth it.
