The API for rc4/DES is horrible from a conceptual standpoint, it should be the same
as for AES.
But on the other hand the API of these is "optimal" for the way we
currently use it internally...
One issue is e.g. that av_aes_crypt uses count to mean 16 byte blocks,
whereas DES would work on 8 byte blocks...
