Dear list,

in my attempt to switch to 24 bit processing, another problem occurred: 
with the help of ma++, I found out, that fout *can* put out 
24bit-aif-files in ma++'s mac-version. It is a new, yet undocumented 
feature. setting "iformat" to "6" produces a readable, audible, 24 bit 
soundfile. But my operating system (OSX) announces "bad size for PEAK 
chunk in AIFC file". I would not mind as long I would not get the same 
error-message as I try to read the file with "soundin". As also 
"Soundhack" crashes as I am trying to re-write the header or make a 
copy of the file, I am a bit at the end of my knowledge. Full 24 bit 
support should be no problem with csound5, I have been told, but it 
does not run on a mac yet, does it? Any ideas welcome...

Best regards,

Jan Jacob
