Your patch looks correct to me, but it doesn't work.
I tried two scenarios
1) clean start. open WAV file. I get this error. The file is 22Khz stereo
ALSA lib pcm.c:7482:(snd_pcm_set_params) Unable to get period size for 
PLAYBACK: Invalid argument
2012-05-21 23:25:48.298 Cynthiune[5549] Failed to set device 
parameters:Invalid
argument
2) clean start. open WAV file, 44Khz stereo, plays fine. Play MP3. Plays 
fine
3) the opposite of 2) works


Thus your patch seems to solve the endianness problem and I will commit 
it. But it is not perfect yet...

I attach a test file. Play it as first file after cynthiune opens.
