[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] AC3/DTS passthrough on big endian system, not test

[? ?]

yes, I think it's the only way.

a big endian system with audio digital output connected with an external 
audio decoder are needed to do the test.

I has a creative decoder, but only has a mac intel system, so big endian 
situation is not tested.
