decoder turned around and played as random noise is a

Note the distinction "Motorola vs. Intel". This would appear
to imply "big-endian" vs "little-endian". If the two bytes in the
16-bit words were mis-interpereted, one could easily expect
to hear random noise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness

WAV files and other RIFF files are, by definition, little-
endian. Making them big-endian violates the RIFF
conventions.
