Forcing input codec for flv broken

[ami_stuff]

attached file decodes incorrectly on big-endian because pcm_s16be is used instead of pcm_s16ble (see "libavformat/flvdec.c")

no idea if this is a bug in squeeze (creates broken files) or in ffmpeg

(also seeking does not work in ffplay - works fine with mplayer)

I think an option to invert "native" endian pcm_s16 format 0 audio is possible.

[DonMoir]

As far as I can tell, you can't seek by audio stream with any flv even if it includes video.

Since above file is audio only, it fails seeking.

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

The obvious (and only possible) work-around to force the audio codec is broken since 86e107a.

(The test assumes the opposite case: flv file written on big-endian, played on little-endian.)

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

The following should work fine now on big-endian:
$ ffmpeg -acodec pcm_s16le -i seeking_fail.flv out.wav
