Re: [patch] little-endian dmasound silently fails

ha. that's a pun. it's not silent at all when you listen.

seriously, the dmasound driver advertises itself as little-endian capable
but doesn't provide the proper translators. so clients like openh323
switch the mode to little-endian (without any errors) and write
little-endian data and the result is a hissing noise!

How does it write "little-endian data"?  Does the program take care of CPU
being big-endian in some way?  If not, I'd think it's the program's fault.
