Well, it seems to have worse problems - even after changing AFMT_S16_LE to AFMT_S16_NE and O_RDWR to O_WRONLY, it doesn't want to play sound. > It's possible that alsa assumes that you can do byteswapping on all > macs, and so any apps that use little endian sample formats instead of > just sticking with platform native will have probs. In my experience it's really the other way around, i.e. ALSA swaps bytes in software, which sometimes hurts. -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast
