No, you can teach af_format the conversion between BE and LE AC3
(which luckily is exactly the same as for normal 16 bit audio) and make
hwac3 always output whatever the input is, and just make it add the
headers (in the right endianness for the input data format - the
simplest way to do this is probably to always write the headers in
native endian and swab them if the format passed through has different
endianness - swapping 8 bytes hardly uses any CPU).
