Hmm, odd. I've used all mentioned here except "arts" which I have never
used on a nubus mac here. The nubus version of awacs doesn't have h/w byte
swapping. So, I believe those apps worked at one point or fixes exist
already.

You know, some apps are so broken that they do the byte swapping themselves
so as to feed LE data, in which case the CPU will be doing double byte
swapping on PISMO and possibly others. No thanks.

True, but we had no audio app working (without a patch or two) some years
ago, and I believe we are making progress.
