You don't - you tell vorbisfile whether you want the data big endian or
little endian (it's one of the arguments to ov_read()) - figuring out which
is your host endianness has to be done elsewhere (either at runtime or
compile time)

It's a reasonable assumption, I think.

Don't think so. It seems to assume that the data comes in with the correct
byte order for that output module - and it has no way to communicate back
to the calling program what 'correct' is. It quite possibly works anyway,
however.
