Comment (by Rollinnn):

 Replying to [comment:2 richardpl]:
 > This is not good idea. There should not be auto conversion to float when
 it is not necessary, instead user is responsible to deal with filtergraphs
 issues by themselves.

 I don't get why "this is not good idea". Almost all software that can do
 some kind of audio processing (player, audio editors) silently does
 conversion to 32 bit float before applying effects. Why ffmpeg should be
 different in this regard?
