I don't want to use "depth down-sampled" channels with ambdec.

As I wrote, zita-j2a stays silent when using it as you explained.

Excellent!

But when running jackd with my 16bit USB module, Mplayer is converting
its output to 16bit. When running Jack with a 24bit sound card or the
aloop device, Mplayer's output is floatle (as expected), even when
forcing Jack to run in 16bit with the "--short" option.

Another problem: when starting Jack with a 2 channels sound card,
Mplayer can't output more than 2 channels.

So I suppose that Mplayer is misbehaving.

So far, no sound is coming out of zita-j2a.
Here's how I started it:
zita-j2a -v -d hw:2 -c 8
playback :
  nchan : 8
  fsamp : 48000
  fsize : 256
  nfrag : 2
  format : S16_LE
capture : not enabled
Starting synchronisation.
