I agree, and that's what I was saying: I would like to see GMPI just do one audio sample format, and I would like it to be 64-bit float. I think that we'll feel really stupid about the decision to use 32-bit float in a few year's time, if we do that. The performance difference will further disappear (it already is a mixed bag; 64-bit is more efficient for some things, 32-bit for other), arguments against 64-bit will become irrelevant...
