The samplerate and speexrate plugins currently take S16 (see
pcm_src_convert_s16 in alsa-plugins/rate/rate_samplerate.c and
alsa-plugins/rate/rate_speexrate.c), so just using S32 will not improve
the accuracy. It would be easy to replace those functions with
pcm_src_convert_float (both resampler libraries have functions that take
float directly), but that will break the plugin ABI. Is that acceptable?
The same would have to be done for the channel remapping (route
conversion) plugin.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean - this is the first time I've
submitted a patch here.
