Bugzilla Bug 76755

I have a G3 iBook 800 MHz Rev. 2.2 with vanilla kernel 2.6.10. The kernel ALSA
driver as well as OSS emulation are activated, for the kernel config see below.

The JACK output plugin of xmms produces only white noise. I guess it is a
PPC-typical endian problem.

I should remark that the jack output of alsaplayer -o jack works, so there
should not be a problem with jackd.


relevant part of kernel-config:

I guess, it's an endianness problem.

the issue could be solved fixing the PCM output flag to be "NE" instead of LE
as probably is.

I'll have a look later

Fixed

How do I get the fix? I do not see any changes to the xmms-jack package.
