 The mp3code came from Zinf (formerly FreeAmp) in which a similar
 endianness bug was fixed back in 2003 <https://bugs.debian.org/56472>.
+The bug is that the code uses LITTLE_ENDIAN as though it was a
+feature-test macro like Q3_LITTLE_ENDIAN, but actually it's
+always defined, regardless of platform: the actual test for
+endianness with <endian.h> is BYTE_ORDER == LITTLE_ENDIAN.
+As a result, it always takes the LE code path.
+
+Rather than trying to use <endian.h> in a portable way, I've just
+used the Quake 3 engine's equivalent macros.
