Comment(by jyavenard):

 Mythtv fundamentally can't manage audio > 16 bits. 32 bits audio could be
 rather easily adapted ; but 24 bits is going to be a pain as it's not your
 typical C-type size so you have to manually handle endianess..

 SPDIF is also designed to carry a maximum of 20 bits audio ; 24 bits can
 be done, but not all receiver will handle it...

 Also note that 96kHz isn't a sample rate that can be handled natively by
 most audio cards ; the maximum they would typically handle is 48kHz. So
 everything would be downsampled.

 If you can upload some samples somewhere and post the link here, I could
 have a look...
