Well, it is/was bogus if a 16bit wordsize is correct for an AIFF-C 32bit floats
file. When I gave the QT player on OS X a AIFF-C floats file with the
wordsize=32, it rendered with distortion, repeats and all sorts of stuff.
Changing the size to 16bit resulted in correct playback.
I was not referring to what QT might ~create~, but to do with what it reads.
But I discovered the 16bit anomaly in OS X, so this wasn't a Windows issue
anyway. However, I happily acknowledge that this was a while ago (this time
last year, just after OS X was released), and I am glad to hear the bug has been
fixed (CF the reply from Bob Stewart), on Windows too from what you say, and am
looking forward to trying it all out when I get access to a Mac again.

This assertion is bogus. I know for a fact that QT creates properly
formed AIFF and AIFC files on Windows that can be read on pretty much
any platform by a properly coded client. If you are having trouble with
them, it is a bug in whatever app you are using. It has been my
experience on Windows that a lot of apps that get handed a file that
ends in ".aif" but really contains AIFC data get it wrong because they
treat them as AIFF files.
