It appears I spoke to soon about sound working perfectly. Whenever esd plays
a 16bit wav file, the sound plays at about half speed. Ugg. At least its not
static anymore. I'm going to see if I can track down why this is happening
(maybe its some on-the-fly endianess swaping slowing it down), but I don't
know sound code all that well, so anyone that does, please lend a hand.
Elliot has the old set of patches ported up to 0.2.15, and hopefully will
be in 0.2.16 :)
Which old set of patches? I've tried Elliot's 0.2.15 and it doesn't fix 
the playing of 16bit sounds. BTW, you need a patch to be able to compile 
Elliot's 0.2.15. It seems the configure file assumes that a ppc linux is 
MkLinux, and uses its driver instead of OSS. It appears its MkLinux that has 
the little-endian sound driver, not linuxppc. Anyway the attached patch 
changes removes the MkLinux testing (I don't know how to tell the
difference), and just uses OSS.
The patches which exist in a copy of 0.2.14, hence any working esound.
They did not make it into 0.2.15, but will hopefully be in 0.2.16.  It
does tell from MkL & Linux/PPC, and it also makes everything work "ok"
again.
