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?
