Description
From the MythTV on OS X wiki:
"(As of mythtv 0.21-fixes-20090316) There is one important note if trying to record via FireWire? on an Intel Mac. The MythBackend? cannot get a LAM lock signal when recording TV via FireWire?. The solution is to check the "Open with Rosetta" checkbox on the Get Info panel of MythBackend?.app. See this post for information.
Because of this, it's important to open MythBackend?.app from the Finder and not from a Terminal window because it won't open with Rosetta. There must be some PPC-specific FireWire? code in there."
I believe I've identified and fixed the issue, but I need help testing. With the patch below, I'm able to get a LAM lock on my Intel Mini and record successfully but occasionally have errors with certain channels. I'd like to know if the latter is related to the above bug, cause by a more general firewire (on OS X) bug, or just an issue I have with my particular provider and location. I've also cleaned up some OS X firewire-related header includes.

Try to fix Firewire recording on Intel Macs. Refs #8371.
Untested by me except for compilation. There might be other data fields that need endian swapping, but hopefully this won't break working PPC setups.
