The current API where the plain size is exposed is not of much
use - in most cases it is allocated dynamically anyway.
If allocated e.g. on the stack via an uint8_t array, there's no
guarantee that the struct's members are aligned properly (unless
the array is overallocated and the opaque pointer within it
manually aligned to some unspecified alignment).

Other parts of FFmpeg use NE (native endian) rather than ME (machine).
This makes it consistent.

This reduces the number of false dependencies on header files and
speeds up compilation.

that output may be written as uint32_t since output buffer may not be aligned
(and it's silly to force alignment on it) and it does not work in that case
properly on some architectures.
