Alsasink not playing BE PCM in LE Machine

[vijaypalaniswamy]

Hi,
I tried to play BE PCM in LE machine.
But alsasink is not list the BE format even if Alsa deivce has the capability to play BE PCM.

Log:
alsa gstalsasink.c:330:gst_alsasink_getcaps:<alsasink0> returning caps audio/x-raw, format=(string){ S8, U8, S16LE, U16LE, S24_32LE, U24_32LE, S32LE, U32LE, S24LE, U24LE, F32LE, F64LE }, layout=(string)interleaved, rate=(int)[ 4000, 2147483647 ], channels=(int)2, channel-mask=(bitmask)0x0000000000000003;

By disabling the check for endianess in file "ext/alsa/gstalsa.c" function "format_supported"
Listing both BE & LE formats

- if (GST_AUDIO_FORMAT_INFO_ENDIANNESS (finfo) != endianness
-     && GST_AUDIO_FORMAT_INFO_ENDIANNESS (finfo) != 0)
-    return FALSE;


Log:

Alsasink is listing only the native endianess Format.

Is it expected to have only the native endianess formats?

Thankyou

Probably historical reasons. Please file a bug and attach your
patch there:

Thanks!
