But this will not tell the decoder to output 24bit in the first place. Instead it will take the decoder's 24bit and downconvert it to 16bit. Of course that's possible to do. But it shouldn't be any better than using sox to downconvert 24bit to 16bit (which is what eac3to is currently using). The problem we need to solve is to find out why the 24bit output of the Nero filter seems to contain information in the least significant 8 bits when being fed a 16bit TrueHD track. That shouldn't be the case. And downconverting such a 24bit output may result in quality loss...
