The audiofile in GNOME CVS is supposed to have a lot of endianness fixes already - you may want to try it. (Not sure how binary compatible it is with 0.1.6 though). Anyways, my main point is that you really need to get these patches to the original authors of the respective packages so that they can be integrated. The audiofile author is michael@68k.org. The esound author is ericmit@ix.netcom.com (that e-mail address reportedly no longer works though - perhaps try getting things through raster@redhat.com instead).
The main reason most of these programs don't "work" right now is they were fixed at one point. The dmasound driver used to be in big endian mode. Now, it's in LE mode and all the old patches need to be reversed on LPPC, but not for MkL. It can be a bit messy. But, there is a semi-elegant fix for it all. --- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
