[FFmpeg-devel] decklink 24/32 bit question

For what it’s worth, I’ve got deinterleaving code in the works to handle capture of multiple pairs of audio (i.e. break 16 channels into 8 pairs and announce them as separate S16LE streams).  If we really thought 24-bit was desirable, that code could be adjusted accordingly (the hardware would still capture 32-bit, but the deinterleaver would put out S24LE).
