Subject: PCM format support (24 bit data stored in 32-bit word) in ALSA?

Hi,

I have a capture card using a TI PCM1803a chip, which is a 24-bit AD
converter. However a 24-bit digital information is stored in a 32-bit
word. I searched the ALSA PCM code and found that the format
SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_S24_LE (and others) defines the physical bit width as
32. I guess these definitions are designed to handle exactly the
situation I'm facing now. In other words, ALSA can handle the 24-bit
format in a 32-bit physical data.

Is my understanding correct?

TIA
-XJ
