[MPlayer-users] audio output is broken on powerpc

Hello.

My powerpc system:
Linux manelan061.rz.tu-ilmenau.de 2.4.18-pre9 #1 Sun Feb 10 03:58:18 UTC 2002 ppc unknown

My test stream (5mb prefix of movie):
http://www.tu-ilmenau.de/~past-in/movie.avi

I've modified libao2/ao_oss.c so that it doesn't touch /dev/dsp,
but instead it writes to /usr/log/sound what it would otherwise write
to /dev/dsp.  (Patch included below for completeness.)

On an i386 box, this gives me correct pcm data that I can listen to thus:
	$ sox -t raw -r 44100 -c 2 -w -s /usr/log/sound -t ossdsp /dev/dsp
(And because the patch makes `-ao oss' behave essentially like `-ao pcm'
(only very much faster (on my powerpc at least (bug in `-ao pcm'?))),
it should give correct pcm on any machine.)

But on my powerpc, this produces
http://www.tu-ilmenau.de/~past-in/sound.bz2
which i've listened to as
	16-bit little-endian signed
and	16-bit big-endian    signed
and	16-bit little-endian unsigned
and	16-bit big-endian    unsigned,
but it never sounds right.

Hope this helps.  Keep up the good work.
