putting my powerbook in little endian mode when playing a

so you say that i should not htonl the floats i copy from
my net buffer to the jack-port ?
no, it was a joke.
i doubt, this is a great performance impact.
i doubt that too.
when i change the packet format next time, i could
change that to byte
swap on a PPC. but considering that PPCs are generally slower than x86
nowadays, this would create more cpu load on a jack-network.
i don't think that's measurable either because the byte swap
is probably not the main source of overhead. besides, i'm on
ppc, so plz plz don't change it :)
thanks for netjack!
