Just to re-cap: CPU is big-endian, USB sound-card/driver only support
little-endian. alsasink should advertise host-endiannes formats (that is just
the expectation, pipelines more or less require that really, no one thinks a
sink might only support foreign endianness). So *if* the driver does not
support any formats in host endianness, you would need to make alsasink
byte-swap internally or something. Or fix the driver to support that.
