Mhmmm. I understand. So it would be a good idea if I would patch
esound for allowing BE data to come in, convert it on the fly to LE,
and write it to the device? This would allow me to use all those neat
esd-capable programs which produce 16bit BE data (like xmms) with my
LE sound card.
Should be rather simple to do.
