My problem is the "Swab audio" option in the Misc Options section. What is it, and should the damn button be pressed or not? In other words, how am I supposed to know whether the audio data is in "byte-swapped (little endian) order"? WTF is "byte-swapped (little endian) order" anyway? Better yet, why do I even have to know?
