[alsa-devel] Bug in aplay?

[Damien Zammit]

I wish to record and playback streams from my sound card which uses 24
bit big endian format, but I do not wish to resample it.  Is it
possible to reorder the endianess on the fly so that I can play and
record using alsa tools without losing any quality?
