[FFmpeg-user] Impossible to get the bit depth value of an audio-file with ffprobe

[Paul Blakeman]

Input #0, wav, from 'Lee.wav':
  Metadata:
    encoded_by      : Pro Tools
    originator_reference: 7iGQ3S9p7mlaaaGk
    date            : 2020-07-23
    creation_time   : 14:05:55
    time_reference  : 158865370
  Duration: 00:04:15.83, bitrate: 1422 kb/s
    Stream #0:0: Audio: pcm_s16le ([1][0][0][0] / 0x0001), 44100 Hz, 2 channels, s16, 1411 kb/s
bits_per_sample=16
bits_per_raw_sample=N/A


When I try on an audio file created with ProTools 

ffprobe -show_streams -show_format Lee.wav | grep bits

On an audio file “bits_per_sample” is what you are after
