Description Marcus Comstedt 2020-08-22 12:46:21 UTC
The ALSA backend of advancemame selects the sample format SND_PCM_FORMAT_S16_LE,
even though the samples are native shorts, so it should use SND_PCM_FORMAT_S16
(without the trailing _LE) to get the correct format for the system at hand.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start advmame on any big endian system with a ROM that has sound
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Sound is gravely distorted due to being byte-swapped

Expected Results:  
Sound is correct

Sorry, that was the wrong patch.  This is the correct one.
