Bug #253568 (16-bit sound broken on HPPA, and PPC with -ansi)
I'm aware of the current freeze, but I'd like to draw attention to bug
#253568 - it affects HPPA, but I believe that it breaks almost all apps
that use 16-bit sound with OSS on that port. (This applies equally to
ALSA with OSS emulation.)
This also applies to the PowerPC port, when -ansi is used.
The problem is that <linux/soundcard.h> doesn't test for __hppa__ and
__powerpc__ when defining AFMT_S16_NE, so it ends up being defined as
AFMT_S16_LE instead of AFMT_S16_BE. Result: samples are effectively
byte-swapped.
I've appended the less intrusive fix from the bug report.
