24-bit wav files can be funny animals. There are several problems: 1) 24-bit audio files often have a 32-bit structure inside (i.e. one byte of each sample is blank) 2) If (1) then there is no agreement about which one (for example: snd leaves the most-significant byte 0, while arecord leaves the least significant 0) 3) I'm not certain that WAV is actually supposed to be able to handle 24-bit samples.
