%^!@#&*$.. when I had the static I was SOOOOOO close to haveing it working and then I tried a million other things to debug it.. turns out I just needed to change the audio format in sound.c to

audioSpec.format = AUDIO_S16MSB;


or what I should've actually used AUDIO_S16SYS which goes whichever way based on a define.. Oh well. I learned a fair bit in the process.

(Actually, now that I think about it I could try to change the endianness of that stuff too.. I'll look into it.. )No.. using SYS should be the "right" way to do it because s3m,mod,wav(had to get PPC version of loader from elsewhere) all also produce static..

so after tomorrow (4 more pages to write before 5pm for Political Theory class...) I'll wrap my endian changes the way the rest of libmodplug does it (changeing endianness of variables as the relevant structures are read rather then preprocessing the file) and all will be good in the world

Anyway: Music in OSX port = a done deal.
