That is endianness-dependent. Note that our masks for 24/32bpp are
*always* big-endian. See gstreamer/docs/random/mimetypes. In ximagesink,
for example, you see that X provides the masks in host-endianness, so
(on LE), we convert them. See ximagesink.c. I'm guessing that libcaca
expects masks as host-endian, too, so you need to convert them to that
for LE computers in 24/32 bpp mode.
