Vouk I posted as question in Bug Report but maybe here is better. I am noticing my AC3, EAC3 exports as 32 bit. This is probably not good, although the files seem to bitstream ok to a receiver. Wondering if/how to make them the more standard 16 bit. Thanks.
32 bit vs 16 bit

It has float data as input. This means values from (theoretically) -1.0 to +1.0. (Over/Undershooting is still possible).
32bit here is the precision (simplified: the number of decimal points) of that value, not the resolution like with PCM (integer).
"float" as a type has always a size of 32 bits (or four bytes)
In some formats you have also 64bits of precision available, which is actually called "double"
