[PD-dev] writesf~ bug?

Hi,
I have been playing around with writesf~, trying to save '.au' files (nextstep), and I'm
getting weird results. I'm hoping someone else can verify this.
I have a Windows machine running PD 0.37.0.
When I use writesf~ to save a file in 'au' format (using the -nextstep flag) the resulting
file is malformed (I can't open it with any sound program).
After a little inspection to the generated file it seems to me that the file is always
big-indian encoded (it also seems that the -little/-big flags have no effect, the file is
always the same).
Also it seems that field 2 of the file header (data size) is filled with zeroes when, according to
http://brandt.kurowski.net/projects/lsa/wiki/view.cgi?doc=588, it should be filled with ones.
I made a test patch (see attach) to reproduce these results .
I experimented re-arranging the file manually and it can be played afterwards...
Hope someone can shed some light on this.
Thanks,
jc
PS: I have just joined this list and I don't know if this was the right place to post
possible bugs in PD or if the cvs list would be more appropriate...
