The audiofile in GNOME CVS is supposed to have a lot of endianness fixes

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.
