[streaming] FLAC streaming

[Ian Rice]

I've been trying to stream a flac file over rtp using:

 vlc -vvv --ttl 12 ~/test.flac --sout 
'#rtp{dst=11.11.11.255,port=1234,sdp=rtsp://myIP:8880/test.sdp}'
but it fails due to "unsupported codec:s16l"
On line 1018 of rtp.c there is a switch case that allows VLC_FOURCC( 
's', '1', '6', 'b' )
Is there a reason why s16l is not allowed ?
Which module actually sets this ?
Actually my server is little endian but my client is big endian with a 
little endian sound card.
I already have a byte swapper for the big/little issue on the client.
Any quick hack for this would be appreciated before I go butchering the 
code myself.

The relevant log is below.
