	Interesting. I would have thought that the PPC backend's
CPU usage should have increased by the same amount, since it
is also having to byte-swap all audio and video data.


	Those patches cause the OSS or ALSA libraries to do byte swapping.
I wonder if there is a bug in that code? (or in the PPC implementation)

	Do you know what audio bitsize is being swapped?
I suspect 24bit is a lot slower to swap than 16bit


	Thanks for the update.
