Chris - a few questions.  It looks like this patch fixes the situation where
the endianness of the processor and CD-drive is different (as on your machine).
 It looks like this patch will reverse the endianness when programs are run on
*any* SPARC machine (where endian is BIG_ENDIAN) running Solaris.

However are you sure that this is always true?  Are there some CD players that
user might install into a SPARC machine where the endian-ness of the CD player
would be the same.  If so, then wouldn't your patch *break* the audio playback
for these users?

Do we need to check in the patch for the endianness of the CD player and only
reverse the endianness on-the-fly if the endianness of the processor and CD
player are, in fact, different?
