One thing to note about that feature is that it only *emulates* those lower bit resolutions:

the samples you end up with are still 16bit!
it's just that for the "8bit" ones, half the samples are set to zero,
and for the "12bit", a quarter of them are.

Of course, this sounds just the same as real 8bit or 12bit samples,
but it caught me out when I needed to have genuine 8bit ones.
(for use with a Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulator program, since you ask....!)
