[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avformat/mov: Fix endian-dependent parsing

MOVAtom.type is always read as a little-endian number
(despite MOV/ISOBMFF being big-endian).
Fixes the matroska-dovi-write-config8 FATE-test on big-endian
arches (which runs into the "index out of range" warning message).

A few days ago I sent a patch using the dv84.mov sample
that also failed on the PPC BE endian FATE box, yet this test
reencoded the audio and so I blamed this (despite encoder and
decoder being fixed-point); see [1]. Seems like I was wrong
and the fixed-point codecs are indeed bitexact.
