"Editing" (ie. cut, copy, paste, delete) does not change the audio data format.
"Processing" (ie. all effects) is performed as 32-bit float.

Owww...
That's odd. What happens if I cut a piece of 16 bit audio to a track holding a 24 bit sample?
Or if I cut an 8-bit sample into a 16 bit track?
Maybe that's another veru good reason to show the real source SR & BR?

If you cut and paste from one track to a track that has a different sample format:
If you paste as a new audio clip, the pasted data is not changed.
If you paste into an existing audio clip, the pasted data is converted to the same format as the audio clip that it is being merged with.
An audio track contains "audio clips". Each audio clip has one sample format, but if the track contains multiple audio clips, they may have different sample formats. All audio clips in a track have the same "sample rate" as the track. Pasting an audio clip may change the sample rate without changing the sample format.
