I asked the maintainer of Audiofile and this is what he said:

Either take his advice and grab from CVS, or do what I did: open up
test/linuxtest.c, and add the following line above line 103:

#define AFMT_S16_NE AFMT_S16_LE

Of course, if you have a big-endian system (some listed above), you should
replace AFMT_S16_LE with AFMT_S16_BE.
