My guess is, high quality sound apps have to use floating point anyway
as they absolutely must avoid any internal clipping, and for others
the int->float conversion of the buffer is not a bottleneck. E.g. I
can't notice any difference here between using Alsa directly or
routing it through Jack with Allegro, neither in lag nor CPU use.
