Don't blame yourself; it is in fact a regression IMHO to change to
unsigned int, albeit a theoretical one. C only guarantees 16 bits for
int/unsigned int, you shift by 24 making it undefined behavior on 16
bit platforms. This is theoretical since POSIX guarantees 32 bits
here; FFmpeg does not support such 16 bit (likely embedded) platforms
anyway. But why change to something worse for no gain ;)?
