Hahahah... but seriously. I've JUST recently had this very discuccion with some people on the linuxppc-dev list. Linus doesn't want a bunch of reendianizing going on in the kernel, so patches that add that won't be allowed. The plan is eventually to remove all the sample-conversion code, and only allow the sample formats that the hardware knows, expecting userspace to do the conversion work. > It doesn't appear so; I hacked the kernel module so that it set the > supports little endian var to 1, but it behaved even worse then (no > sound plays at all, and arts gets all confused).
