WASAPI, PlayPcmWin and foobar2000, which format should I use? Options

[Steve Forte Rio]

Hi! I use PlayPcmWin (64-bit) to determine what sample formats does my soundcard support.

Here is what I've got:

CODE

PlayPcmWin 4.0.37.0 64bit
wasapi.Init() 00000000
wasapi.DoDeviceEnumeration(Play) 00000000
wasapi.InspectDevice()
DeviceFriendlyName=Динамики (Creative SB X-Fi)
DeviceIdString={0.0.0.00000000}.{4e1c4df9-ab0e-4083-b353-c12d0c0f20aa}

Does it mean that my soundcard doesn't support playback of 24-bit integer through WASAPI Exclusive and I should use i32V24 or i32v32? And what means 32-bit output in foobar2000 (WASAPI Exclusive) - 32 bit integer or 24 bit padded to 32?

Thanks!
