Sounds read from different bit levels behave a bit strangely and we don't
provide indication of the bit levels in the explorer tools. For example,
opening an 8bit sound looks fine in explorer, but when copied to a new 16
bit sound, the values are clearly 256x quieter. Our tools could provide a
better indication that this is the case to make it more obvious that a
scaling factor needs to be applied when copying.
