That is good news! So at least the Nero decoder is perfect for 24bit MLP and most probably also for 24bit TrueHD files!

If you compare the original 16bit WAV source to the 24bit MLP decoder output, do you see a pattern? Are the 2 most significant bytes always 100% correct and the least significant byte contains "random" data? Or are the 2 most significant bytes not fully correct, either? If only the least significant byte is wrong and the 2 most significant bytes are correct, I could add code to eac3to to simply zero out the least significant byte and we'd be ready to go!

Thanks!
