Similar issue as #1

ffmpeg's wav encoder uses 16-bits encoding by default.

And, by the way, FLAC, like all compressing formats, doesn't have the notion of bit depth from PCM files, so the 24-bits in the filename must come from the original record, but doesn't mean anything for the FLAC file.

[ThomasHezard]

several solutions to control the bit depth in a wav file :

• using -sample_fmt (see ffmpeg -sample_fmts)
• or using -acodec pcm_XXX (see ffmpeg -codecs | grep ' pcm_')
