CoreAudio server plugin: 24bit big endian audio streams

At least under macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 kAudioFormatFlagIsBigEndian for 24bit audio doesn't seem to be supported by the CoreAudio engine when providing kAudioServerPlugInIOOperationWriteMix streaming buffers for our CoreAudio server plugin. Is that correct and to be expected? Or how should the AudioStreamBasicDescription be filled out on a kAudioStreamPropertyPhysicalFormat request to correctly announce 24bit big endian audio to CoreAudio? Thanks, hagen.
