System: NetBSD crobin 1.3.2 NetBSD 1.3.2 (CROBIN) #1: Fri Aug 28 18:19:13 EDT 1998 jruschme@crobin:/usr/src/sys/arch/sparc/compile/CROBIN sparc


>Description:
	The "NOTES" section of the manpage for tosha documents the output format,
	but does not document the fact that the output is little-endian, 
	regardless of the platform. This is potentially misleading to naive
	users on big-endian platforms (e.g., Sparc).

	FYI, little-endian is also the opposite of the "norm" for CD Audio.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Read manpage closely, attempt to use sox (without -x option) on 
	big-endian system.
>Fix:
	Add text which specifically states that the output is little-endian.
