Andrew, I see Andrea has successfully compiled and tested. I have to figure out which patch is causing me an error as I have not been able to do a complete build on this older laptop so I will add one patch at a time (can't find the error in the log yet).

So I was having a blast (esp. in open firmware ;) ) with my new G5.

Compiled Cinelerra-gg on Slackware ~current ppc32 (gcc 15.2.0). But sadly sound was broken? I suspected ffmpeg but even native way sounded wrong, but rendered correctly?!

Turned out both ALSA and Pulseaudio hardcoded LE variant, and at least on Slackware alsa offered BE variant - picked by speaker-test utility.

I added code to use this or old variant depending on
BC_Resources::little_endian and it seems to sound fine now on both outputs?

Can you please test on le ? (usual intel/arm)
