Or check out the CVS tree at

You're right that it doesn't have any byte-swapping code, but it marks
the data as little endian, so apparently the OSS output plugin swaps the
bytes (not the crossfade plugin though). Maybe your drive delivers big
endian data?
Anyway, xmms-cdread needs to be fixed to always convert the data to
native byte order, if only for the EQ to work (not that we need the xmms
EQ :).
