    Edited to :
    @qint16 val = qFromBigEndian<qint16>(data);
    uchar* dt = new uchar[dataSize];
    qToLittleEndian<qint16>(val,dt);
    m_buf->writeData((const char*)dt,dataSize);
    delete dt;@
    But the quality of audio is worse then without conversation.

      I write function:
      @bool SpeakerSink::toLittleEndian( const char * src, int size, int nBits)
      {
      if(src == NULL)
      return false;

      for (int i = 0; i < size; i+=nBits) {
          qint16 val = qFromBigEndian<qint16>((const uchar*)(src+i));
          qMemCopy((void*)(src+i),&val,nBits);
      }
      
      return true;
      

      }@
      It solve task of converting from big-endian to little-endian and in headphones I get the same result(I mean sound is recognizable but bad quality) as if my server will transmit data without conversation to big-endian. But sound still distorted and interrupts.

        I open VLC player and receive this stream normally, then I look at codec details and see some PCM S16BE(twos). So what is it and can I transform data to play normal PCM on QAudioOutput ? So is it 16-bit Big-endian pcm or something else? What means S ?

          I record output of my sound card when receiving stream with sine of 1000 Hz. After opening it in Sound Forge I see pauses in this sine with delays from 5 ms to 25 ms but sine has the same shape(I mean no distortions).

            Sorry, no idea what kind of data you send around your network;-)

            Why do you have nBits in the toLittleEndian method shown above? Anything but nBits == 2 breaks the method, doesn't it? The name is rather confusing, too... shouldn't it at least be nBytes?

              You're right the name must be at least nBytes :) Maybe QAudioOutput reads the buffer faster than it writes by receiving data from network, and I just need to wait some time before playing.

                I rewrite my audio buffer class. Now it looks like this:
                @#ifndef AUDIOBUFFER_H
                #define AUDIOBUFFER_H

                #include <QAudioFormat>
                #include <QIODevice>
                #include <QMutex>
                #include <QDebug>

                class AudioBuffer : public QIODevice
                {
                Q_OBJECT

                public:

                AudioBuffer(/const QAudioFormat &format,/ QObject parent = NULL, int bufSize = 1400) : QIODevice(parent)
                {
                m_bufSize = bufSize
                4;

                    m_buffer1 = new const char[m_bufSize];
                    m_buffer2 = new const char[m_bufSize];
                
                    m_rightOffset = 0;
                    m_leftOffset  = 0;
                    m_cursor      = 0;
                
                    qMemSet((void *)m_buffer1,0,m_bufSize);

                }
                

                //----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                private:
                const char * m_buffer1;
                const char * m_buffer2;
                int m_rightOffset;
                int m_leftOffset;
                int m_cursor;
                int m_bufSize;
                };

                #endif//AUDIOBUFFER_H@
                And now I'm using it like this:
                @m_output->start(m_buf);@
                and it enters write data functions, but doesn't reads data. So question: How QAudioOutput asks for the data to play from QIODevice ? Is it call readData function or not ? And one more question: Is it possible to play rtsp stream using Phonon ?

                  One more question whats the main difference between push and pull mode of playing ?

                    Interesting thing: when I play 22050 Hz 16 bit 2 channels audio stream - it plays normally without interruptions, but when playing 44100 Hz 16 bit stereo - not. If I open same stream(44 kHz) in VLC player or any other it plays normally without interruptions.

                      this is an interesting thread. a QAudioOuput from a buffer example should be added to the document.

                      too bad the document only has an example of playing a file.

                            I had a similar problem using a ringbuffer as a QIODevice backend for which I spent a whole day. The solution was to override the following method:

                            @bool isSequential() const
                            {
                            return true;
                            }@
