Sounds like the bits-per-pixel options that are inadequately
supported - SL should cope OK if the sample rate is not what
was requested.  However, adding support for 16 bit throughout
SL would be a big job - and I'd rather spend that time replacing
SL with something better (OpenAL perhaps) and turning SL into a
compatibility layer on top of that lower level API.
