This indicates that the pipeline rhythmbox uses for conversion is wrong (wrong
in the sense that it only works on little endian architectures). This is not a
GStreamer bug, this is a rhythmbox bug as far as I can tell.

The wavenc element requires raw audio input in little endian format on all
architectures, so indeed rhythmbox will need to plug an additional audioconvert
element in front of it to convert from native endianness to little endian on
big endian architectures, as the reporter already described.

Moving back to rhythmbox.
