I don't think this is valid. You are skipping a byte, as if there was
an additional element to skip. But there is none.

The bitstream is really:
bits per component [1 byte]
packing [2 bytes]
encoding [2 bytes]

So if the first byte makes sense (number of bits) and would be valid,
but packing value is weird, then this might be incorrect endianness.

But then you would have a lot of other stuff incorrect, if you read
with the incorrect endiannes.

So this situation does not make sense. Is there a sample exhibiting this issue?
