Too much effort and work has been spent on such a simple function.
It simply refuses to work as the specifications say, the
transformation is NOT lossless and creates some crackling and
distortions.
Therefore disable it by default and add a couple of warnings to
scare people away from touching it or wasting their time the
way I did.
The decoder does this so I guess we better do that as well.
There's barely any difference between the autoregressive and
the moving average filters looking at spectrals though.
It didn't work out because of the exceptions that needed to be made
for the "-1" cases and was overall more confusing that just manually
checking and setting options for each profile.
Long Term Prediction allows for prediction of spectral coefficients
via the previously decoded time-dependent samples. This feature
works well with harmonic content 2 or more frames long, like speech,
human or non-human, piano music or any constant tones at very low
bitrates.
It should be noted that the current coder is highly efficient and
the rate control system is unable to encode files at extremely
low bitrates (less than 14kbps seems to be impossible) so this
extension isn't capable of optimum operation. Dramatic difference
is observable with some types of audio and speech but for the most
part the audiable differences are subtle. The spectrum looks better
however so the encoder is able to harvest the additional bits that
this feature provies, should the user choose to enable it. So
it's best to enable this feature only if encoding at the absolutely
lowest bitrate that the encoder is capable of.
Apparently it was set to be enabled by default but after the
profile commits it was reverted to be off by default because
I didn't notice.
Works well so (re)enable it.
The AVCodecContext.get_format callback is not only used for pixel format
negotiation with the API user, but also for hwaccel init. For the
latter, it's required that some codec parameters, in particular the
codec profile, are set when the callback is invoked.
This patch removes a get_format invocation where this is not guaranteed.
The codec parameters, including the profile, are really set further
below. (The same code path that sets the profile also calls get_format
properly too.)
This just happened to work by coincidence in most cases. For example, if
the API user just copied or reused the AVStream's AVCodecContext when
decoding, the profile would be set properly. But in some cases it
fails., such as with the sample WolfensteinTwitch.mp4 on the samples
server.
Remove the redundant get_format call. Apparently it serves no purpose
anymore, although it is possible that this was different at the time it
was added in commit ffd77f94a2.
This fixes hwaccel usage for API users which do not set the profile
when setting up the AVCodecContext (which is allowed).
This allows more efficient access to the array as the level and flags
are contiguous. Around 4% faster coefficient decoding.

This makes the h.264 decoder threadsafe to initialize.

Work on the AVFrame references directly.
Instead of setting up a flipped/swapped "view" on the pictures,
flip/swap them when returning decoded frames to the API user.
Rather than copying data buffers around, allocate a proper frame, and
use the standard AVFrame functions. This effectively makes the decoder
capable of direct rendering.

This patch fixes build of AAC encoder optimized for mips that was broken due
to some changes in generic code that were not propagated to the optimized code.
Also, some functions in the optimized code are basically duplicate of functions
from generic code. Since they do not bring enough improvement to the optimized
code to justify their existence, they are removed (which improves
maintainability of the optimized code).
Optimizations disabled in 97437bd are enabled again.

These aren't quite as helpful as the ones in 8bpp, since over there,
we can use pmulhrsw, but here the coefficients have too many bits to
be able to take advantage of pmulhrsw. However, we can still skip
cols for which all coefs are 0, and instead just zero the input data
for the row itx. This helps a few % on overall decoding speed.
