I was browsing the web and came upon a filter that will allow SS 24bit files to play in the Windows Media Player. Seems to work, and it will bit reduce if the hardware is 16bit only.
Info follows:
The filter does nothing more than change the output pin type to
be a WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE version of the input pin type and copies the original unmodified data from the input pin to the output pin.
You can get it here:

This filter is still kind of beta as I threw it together in about 20
minutes. You will need to copy the AudioTypeConvert.ax file somewhere onto
your system and manually register the filter using regsvr32. E.g. if you
copy it to C:\Windows\System32 you would use:
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\AudioTypeConvert.ax
To disable it if you have a problem use:
regsvr32 /U c:\windows\system32\AudioTypeConvert.ax
MM adds:
If you have any SonicFoundry/Sony software, you can register the filter by dragging onto the Sound Forge/Vegas/Acid window.
Hope some of you find this helpful...

MM
