AFMT_U16_BE sample format

16 bit unsigned big endian sample format (obsolete)

Description

This format was added to OSS by mistake several years ago. Do not use it. It's not a part of the API and it will be removed from OSS (soundcard.h) after 2010.

The industry standard is to use signed 16 bit audio formats such as AFMT_S16_LE. Signed formats such as AFMT_U16_LE are never used in real world applications.
