Yes, it should be. I say 'should' as the all the audio data does go
through two conversions (int->float, float->int) and bugs and/or rounding
errors are always possible. Ecasound does have a small test suite for the
conversion routines, so they should be ok, but I don't want to give any
guarantees. If bit-level accuracy is important, you should verify the
results.
