I've applied the configure.in change (configure itself is a generated
file, along with Makefile.in etc., so sending patches to these is
pointless :)

I skipped the esdplay.c/esdfile.c ones because I had other solutions (such
as removing that code entirely.

If you ever see any code doing a 'setvirtualbyteorder', that line probably
should probably just be nixed altogether. There is only one place that
ever needs doing, and that is inside libesd.

Anyways, I have put up
ftp://people.redhat.com/sopwith/esound-0.2.16.tar.gz - this will probably
become the final thing if you and other people have no problems with it.
It is not yet final, so don't go sticking it into public download dirs or
anything. :)

You will also want to make sure you have gnome-libs 1.0.53 (from October
GNOME) or newer, since I know there was an endianness fix in the 1.0.40
series.

Thanks,
