I don't know what else is wrong, but you shouldn't use B_MEDIA_BIG_ENDIAN
as format. B_MEDIA_HOST_ENDIAN is better in your case.
Also try to memset the buffer to 0 before adding data into it,

I don't completely understand what you are doing, but i only
get silence here when running it, with R5 and open media kit. 

I was hoping for some simple example software that demonstrates
the problem, not for the full thing.

You can try to use this code to demonstrate the problem:

int16 *buf = (int16 *)buffer;
int count = size / 4;

for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        *buf++ = (i & 0xf) << 12;
        *buf++ = 0;
}

This should generate some noise on one channel, and silence on the other.
by swapping the *buf++ lines, you should be able to change the channel.

It that works, BSoundPlayer is working correct
