16-bit sound file formats

I am interested in working with 16-bit stereo sound samples.  In order to use
these samples in other programs for analysis and other signal processing
operations, I need to access sound samples which are in a signed or unsigned
2 byte format,i.e. simple linear representation of sample amplitudes.
To be more specific about this point, let say the sample amplitudes are
in the range [-32767, 32767] are to be represented ina 2-byte 2's complement
representation such that the smallest positive amplitude will be 
0x0000 , the next one 0x0001, the maximum positive signal amplitude will be 
0x7fff, the smallest negative amplitude will be 0xffff.

Does any one of the MS-Windows sound editing, recording, processing programs 
allow you to write the recorded sound samples in a signed/unsigned 2-byte
format?  Does anybody have any experience with such a sound sample
transformation?   If there is such a program does it work with all 16-bit sound
cards or with only a specific one?

Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated.
