Bug Description

This anomaly concerns interoperability between wodim and audacity. The Audacity side of this has been reported here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/audacity/+bug/1852936

Wodim needs better documentation. To say "MSB left, LSB left, MSB right, LSB right, MSB left and so on. The track should be a multiple of 2352 bytes" is academically interesting but not much help for the end user who needs to know how to make the input conform to that spec. More language is needed: is this big endian or little endian? In particular, it would be useful if the requirements were phrased in a way that the user can fill out these fields:

A codec suggestion would perhaps settle the endianness matter.
