I'm sorry Hans, I swear I'm not picking on you with these audio issues :-)

Anyway, the patch changes the sample format to PA_SAMPLE_S16NE (Native Endian)
from PA_SAMPLE_S16LE (Little Endian). This fixes it for me and tools such as
timidity++ and vorbis-tools work correctly with pulseaudio via libao.
Comment 2 Ian Chapman 2008-07-05 20:50:38 UTC 
Note, I should have said at the start of the report, the audio is only broken if
libao uses pulseaudio. OSS, alsa etc work correctly.
