[speex-dev] Decoding .spx with 1.0 on ppc produces noise!

[Kaveh Goudarzi]

Hi,

        I had a similar question ... is the endian-ness of the encoded
speex file, system dependent? or is it always little endian?  If it's
always little endian (like the header seems to be) then big endian
machines (or java) will need to map everything to bigendian before
decoding ...

thanks in advance,

Kaveh.
