Title:
  avconv fails to remux MOV with H.264 and Raw 16-bit PCM audio

Status in libav package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a lot of MOV files created by Canon EOS 7D. Unfortunately I
  didn't set date/time in time so I needed to change "creation_time",
  i.e. to remux MOV files with "-metadata creation_time=...",

  e.g.
      avconv -i MVI_0007.MOV -vcodec copy -acodec copy -metadata creation_time="2011-02-04 13:23:35" MVI_0007.avconv.MOV

  The resulting MOV file turned to be a problem. Neither totem nor
  Popcorn Hour A-400 could play it's audio track. And here is why:

  "little-endian signed sowt" got converted to "big-endian unsigned
  lpcm".

  Than I tried doing the same with
  http://ffmpeg.gusari.org/static/64bit/ffmpeg.static.64bit.2013-05-15.tar.gz

  e.g.
      ~/Desktop/ffmpeg.static.64bit.2013-05-15/ffmpeg -i MVI_0007.MOV -vcodec copy -acodec copy -metadata creation_time="2011-02-04 13:23:35" MVI_0007.ffmpeg.MOV

  Surprisingly the resulting MOV was correct, i.e. "little-endian signed
  sowt" got converted to "little-endian signed sowt" (!).

  Thus ffmpeg converted the MOV file correctly whereas avconv didn't
  which led me to a conclusion that maybe there is a bug in avconv.
