 *
 * \brief Unpacks 2 bit samples
 *  samples may be packed in any of the following ways:
 *  1) Into bytes [ item == byte ]
 *      1a) Big endian ordering within the byte
 *      1b) Little endian ordering within the byte
 *  2) Into shorts [ item == short ]
 *      2a) Big endian ordering of bytes, big endian within the byte
 *      2b) Big endian ordering of bytes, little endian within the byte
 *      2c) Little endian ordering of bytes, big endian within the byte
 *      2d) Little endian ordering of bytes, little endian within the byte
 *
 *  Within a byte the two possibilities look like this:
 *    7       6       5       4       3       2       1       0     : Bit number
 *  x_n,1   x_n,0  x_n+1,1 x_n+1,0 x_n+2,1 x_n+2,0 x_n+3,1 x_n+3,0  : Little endian
 * x_n+3,1 x_n+3,0 x_n+2,1 x_n+2,0 x_n+1,0 x_n+1,0  x_n,1   x_n, 0  : Big Endian
 *
 *  For a short (uint16_t) the bytes are either transmitted as follows:
 *
 *   1       0         : Byte number
 * Byte_n   Byte_n+1   : Little endian
 * Byte_n+1 Byte_n     : Bit endian
 *
 *  The two bit values are assumed to have the following mapping:
 *
 *  x_1  x_0     Value
 *   0    0       +1
 *   0    1       +3
 *   1    0       -3
 *   1    1       -1
 *
 *   Letting x denote the two's complement interpretation of x_1 x_0, then:
 *
 *   Value = 2*x + 1
 *
 *   We want to output the data in the order:
 *
 *   Value_0, Value_1, Value_2, ..., Value_n, Value_n+1, Value_n+2, ...
