Yes, this particular example was not very good in this case... =)
Anyhow, I was only trying to point out that it's a good idea to save and
work with 32bit floats even when the recorded input (and eventually the
output, when burned to CD) is only 16bit int.
Like in a sample editor like Audacity, where you can do lots of
processing "offline" (not realtime), the sample data is actually changed
and would loose information if it was 16bit ints! It's just like when
editing photo's, you don't save a work-in-progress photo in JPEG, but in
a non-destructive format like XCF or TIFF.
