Here's my logic:
If a commercial blu-ray's LPCM is big endian, then it's more likely that any/all decoding software 
will handle big endian (as opposed to little endian). So, if I have a transcode choice (e.g., 
pcm_s16be versus pcm_s16le), I choose big endian (e.g., pcm_s16be).

Since the bits/sample is only 16, big endian versus little endian is not much of a performance 
issue. Big endian streams more efficiently, but so what, eh?

I'm just trying to be convervative.

Thanks for your comments,
Mark.
