Hmm... Audition is supposed to generate .pk files in any of its native formats, including the 'old' one - so that would include 16 bit int wav files, and 32-bit wav files in either the original 16:8 float format, or the present 32-bit normalised type 3 one, which the default was altered to to bring it into step with what everybody else apprears to be using. But it won't generate them from 24-bit files at all, whatever you do. Put simply, this is intended to speed up the opening of files being worked on in Audition - not files stored in other formats.

Also, you should bear in mind that .pk files are essentially 16-bit int files - which means that with some 32-bit data, you will get display errors. A typical example of this would be what happens if you do a mixdown to a 32-bit file, and the output is very hot - you get nothing but a blob of green on the display until you normalise the file - at which point everything looks fine. It's just that the integer basis of the display can't handle the visual aspects of a Floating Point file - which is quite understandable.
