Okay, this will simplify the patch.

I do not have an example file in RIFX format with WAVEFORMATEX. So, I 
concentrated on the usual file format.
The sent patch does not influence the usual RIFF decoder but it extends 
it by a first support for big endian values.
Maybe someone else can extend my patch with support for WAVEFORMATEX in 
the future.

The compiler would not accept the following construction:
"if (!memcmp(p->buf, "RIFF", 4)) || (!memcmp(p->buf, "RIFX", 4))"

In the previous version of the code, the variable rf64 was initialized 
in every case by the following:
"rf64 = tag == MKTAG('R', 'F', '6', '4');"
I simplified the code and replaced this with a default value, which gets 
overwritten, if the file header has RF64 format

The variable "tag" is initialized by "size = next_tag(pb, &tag, 
wav->rifx);" before the following switch-case.

Okay, we can rely on the zero-initialization of the WAVDemuxContext 
structure.

Best regards,
Thomas.
