This will break the wav output (but not have any effect on the changes I
made recently - that was just a rewrite of the header code) - wav files are
little endian, always. Either the data should be sent little endian, or the
wav output should be changed to convert to little endian.

I'm not sure what the right way to go here is - have everything sent to
libao host-endian, then converted as needed? Or should we have the
application call a libao function to find out what endianness it should be
producing? There are probably other solutions that I haven't thought of.
