That complicates things a lot. Currently the format conversion is
decided before the rate conversion is done. If not all rate conversion
plugins support float, then the format conversion plugin needs to know
this ahead of time to make the right decision. Or the plugin insertion
code needs to be changed so the plugins aren't created in a fixed order.
They are currently created back-to-front, it would probably make more
sense to choose a rate conversion and channel remapping plugin first,
and then insert format conversions where needed.

Re-submitting my original patch as requested.
