I don't think a 16 bit int would cause too much of a problem, with some
inspection/effort.  I believe, however, the OP said it was a 16 bit
char, which leads me to think he is probably using a DSP, which would
definitely cause a problem.  Maybe definitely is too strong a word, but
as the original reply said, making it work would probably require a
large effort.
