+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #339838 +++

Audioconvert currently doesn't handle audio/x-raw-float with an endianness
other than the native one.

At least the input side should have support for both little and big endianness
IMHO.

Sample file (big endian content, try to play back on little endian system):
http://www-mmsp.ece.mcgill.ca/Documents/AudioFormats/AU/Samples/AFsp/M1F1-float32-AFsp.au

Currently this works only because auparse does the endianness swapping itself,
which is more of a hack.
