V29 Feature Request:  64-bit Float output support.

MC boasts 64-bit support which should include 64-bit output (Linux, Mac and Windows).

Since the data is reportedly already in 64-bit, writing it out in 64-bit should not be much work while eliminating the final down conversion stage.

which audio devices accept that?

Linux ALSA software devices for one. 

See my signature below for one example.

So essentially you want a passthough to some other software?

Exactly.  Support ALSA interfaces, plugins, etc.

Why lose precision by downconverting and then upconverting again when a simple write would avoid it ?

It would open up more development options and features sets to MC's cu$tomer base.

Consider them an ALSA version of a VST[3] plugin.
