Indeed, matroskaenc uses put_wav_header, but only for codecs it can't
store natively. Thus, it's not used for mp3 nor any other codec listed
in libavformat/matroska.c.

Here is what the matroska spec has to say about the format of data
stored by put_wav_header:
"The private data contains the ACM structure WAVEFORMATEX including the
extra private bytes, as defined by Microsoft. The data are stored in
little endian format (like on IA32 machines)."
