I guess you need to to swap the word-order in your wav files. You can
do so by converting the files using the "sox" utility, using the -x
option (see http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/cbagwell/projects.html or
the sox man page if you already have it). I think, cdda2wav also has
an option for byte-swapping, see the man page (I haven't got it on
my machine here at home...)
E.g. using cdda2wav with HP CD-writers may produce wav-files that just
sound noisy. If you do a "sox -x file.wav file_new.wav" the result
should be okay (but if you want to burn it on a CD-R using the HP
recorder again, you'll have only noise on your CD, because the HP
needs the other byte-order!).
