please dont apply code like "IS_BE(BE_LE)" 
iam sure it makes sense to you today but it requires an additional step
for the reader to understand
simplest is a seperate endianness and isbe variable. on the wrapper
that should be less code too but quite possibly you see a better and
cleaner way

Thats why i didnt suggets to use av_builtin_constant_p() i was hoping you
saw a better way to achieve it.

But this is a problem which occurs more than once in the codebase.
mapping some identifer to some value just depending on the identifer,
something that is compile time constant, yet it calls to a function to
do a lookup

thx
