[issue30077] Support Apple AIFF-C pseudo compression in aifc.py

[Yussuf Özkan]

Yussuf Özkan <yussuf.ozkan at yandex.com> added the comment:

If you read a normal uncompressed AIFF with aifc, the samples are in big-endian order and need to be converted before they can be played on little-endian systems.

As all other compression schemes produce big-endian data, so should 'SOWT' encoded AIFF. Therefore, the bytes of each sample should be swapped on read and write.
