i've had the white noise problem. i noticed that if the volume was really low in the
app, it was usable almost. the weird thing is that when i had an old 2.4.10 kernel/ oss
drivers on my pbook, apps that gave white noise with 2.4.19/ alsa 0.9 worked fine. (e.g.
audacity, spiralsynth modular). i don't really know what an endian issue is precisely,
but i just read that it comes from gullivers travels and has something to do with the byte
order on the cpu. which sounds like a hardware issue, so how can the problem go away with
a different kernel and the same app?
also someone said they had gdam running on ppc (Michal Seta) - i've got the (possibly)
endian problem with this - did you not have that problem?

yes, i encountered the same issue with some other sound
file editor (sweep i believe, i can't remember). it
certainly looks - or rather sounds - liks an endian issue.
