Ah, Write32ToBuffer is doign the flipping.  What an odd little bitpacker.

(At one point I wrote a 32 bit version of the Ogg bitpacker that did
byte flipping when necessary, and it turned out to be slower than the
8 bit packer we use now.  Also, you have the lowest level bithandling
operations split between several C modules; this will kill any chance
at compiler optimization).

Anyway, it appears that the bitpacker used by VP3 is the exact
opposite packing order used by Ogg... Ah well.
