Re: Alsa plays only wav files
You are right, that the problem is endiannes, because
I wanted to know what is going on, so I switched back
to ALSA and
modified the Alsa output plugin for xmms, so that it
swaps
the endiannes of the data, which goes through it and
----
the ogg/mp3 now plays very well, but wav causes the
noise.
So there is only one question: which code should I
modify
to swap the endiannes? Probably the input plugin for
ogg/mp3?
Or both input plugin for wav and alsa output plugin?
Or even alsa driver? Everything should work.
I don't exactly understand which fault it is. If I
understand
it well, than Alsa expects input in native endiannes.
So
on ppc, the alsa-xmms plugin must send the output in
big-endian.
So the change has to be in ogg plugin. But I don't
know
which endiannes xmms expect its data. So maybe
changing ogg plugin
isn't the solution.
What do you suggest?
