Hello, Takashi.
Thank you for your replay.

I record a sound file by arecord command on Ubuntu.
(% arecord -f S24_LE -r 48000 -c 2 ubuntu_rec_S24_LE_48000.wav )

Then this file was created, and it was LSB 0 padding.
So I think that S24_LE format is LSB 0 padding.

% od -t x4 ubuntu_rec_S24_LE_48000.wav 
0000000 46464952 003a9824 45564157 20746d66
0000010 00000010 00020001 0000bb80 0005dc00
0000020 00180008 61746164 003a9800 ffffbf00
0000030 ffffc300 ffffc600 ffffca00 ffffd300
0000040 ffffd600 ffffdc00 ffffe000 ffffe000
0000050 ffffe400 ffffea00 ffffeb00 fffff800
0000060 fffffa00 00000400 00000500 00001000
0000070 00000f00 00001600 00001700 00001500

Do you know why this file is LSB 0 padding?

Regards
