It seems that most HDMI to Stereo Receiver connections only stream 16 and 32 bit formats, skipping 24 bit. The above configuration up-mixes any PCM stream to 32 bit when using the pcm.myHDMI profile, as it is quite common to see PCM 2.0 and 5.1 24 bit audio files. It just doesn't seem right to down-mix everything to 16 bit, or use Float as the latter uses more processing power. (Users can also set an alias within their bashrc file for 16 bit or 24 bit incantations as well.)
