Well, they're aligned well enough to work
when I set wBitsPerSample to 16, so I think the alignment is correct. ;-)
I know the data sent over the wire is nonzero. For example, one
of the samples sniffed by our USB analyzer is F2 43 63 00. Even if the byte order over the wire is wrong, I should get something more meaningful
in the capture buffer than 000000xx and FFFFFFxx -- for that sample, there should at least be a "43" and a "63" in the data in the capture buffer,
even if the byte order is wrong.
In any case, if my wave format is wBitsPerSample=32, wValidBitsPerSample=24, how can there be any data in the
LSB? Shouldn't the LSB always be 00?

How can I find out for
certain whether or not this is a problem in the Windows XP USB audio driver? I need to tell our customer something. We both have a lot of
money invested in the development of this product.
And if this does turn out to be a problem in Windows XP, is there any chance of a QFE
or workaround? We still have a LOT of customers who are running Windows XP...
Thanks,
