split is ugly

maybe it should but i dont think it does

#   define AV_RL32(x)                           \
    ((((const uint8_t*)(x))[3] << 24) |         \
     (((const uint8_t*)(x))[2] << 16) |         \
     (((const uint8_t*)(x))[1] <<  8) |         \
      ((const uint8_t*)(x))[0])

Its not that you shouldnt use gotos but rather that you should write
readable code and code with gotos often but not always is less readable
