Since av_gettime() is used in a number of places where actual
real time clock is required, the monotonic clock introduced in
ebef9f5a5 would have consequences that are hard to handle. Instead
split it into a separate function that can be used in the cases
where only relative time is desired.
On platform where no monotonic clock is available, the difference
between the two av_gettime functions is not clear, and one could
mistakenly use the relative clock where an absolute one is
required. Therefore add an offset, to make it evident that the
time returned from av_gettime_relative never is actual current
real time, even though it is based on av_gettime.
Based on a patch by Olivier Langlois.

When decoding, this field holds the inverse of the framerate that can be
written in the headers for some codecs. Using a field called 'time_base'
for this is very misleading, as there are no timestamps associated with
it. Furthermore, this field is used for a very different purpose during
encoding.
Add a new field, called 'framerate', to replace the use of time_base for
decoding.
Decoding acceleration may work even if the codec level is higher than
the stated limit of the VDPAU driver. Or the problem may be considered
acceptable by the user. This flag allows skipping the codec level
capability checks and proceed with decoding.
Applications should obviously not set this flag by default, but only if
the user explicitly requested this behavior (and presumably knows how
to turn it back off if it fails).

Currently, the amount of padding inserted at the beginning by some audio
encoders, is exported through AVCodecContext.delay. However
- the term 'delay' is heavily overloaded and can have multiple different
meanings even in the case of audio encoding.
- this field has entirely different meanings, depending on whether the
codec context is used for encoding or decoding (and has yet another
different meaning for video), preventing generic handling of the codec
context.
Therefore, add a new field -- AVCodecContext.initial_padding. It could
conceivably be used for decoding as well at a later point.
This function provides an explicit VDPAU device and VDPAU driver to
libavcodec, so that the application is relieved from codec specifics
and VdpDevice life cycle management.
A stub flags parameter is added for future extension. For instance, it
could be used to ignore codec level capabilities (if someone feels
dangerous).

In order to support metadata being set as an option, it's necessary to be able

The only flags, for now, indicate if metadata was updated and are set after each call to
av_read_frame(). This comes with the caveat that, on stream start, it might not be set properly
as packets might be buffered in AVFormatContext.packet_buffer before being given to the user
in av_read_frame().

It allows attaching other external, opaque data to the frame and passing it
through the reordering process, for cases when the caller wants other data
than just the plain packet pts. There is no way to cleanly achieve this
without the field.
The rationale is that you have a packed format in form
<greyscale sample> <alpha sample> <greyscale sample> <alpha sample>
and shortening greyscale to 'G' might make one thing about Greenscale instead.
An alias pixel format and color space name are provided for compatibility.
Previously, AVStream.codec.time_base was used for that purpose, which
was quite confusing for the callers. This change also opens the path for
removing AVStream.codec.
The change in the lavf-mkv test is due to the native timebase (1/1000)
being used instead of the default one (1/90000), so the packets are now
sent to the crc muxer in the same order in which they are demuxed
(previously some of them got reordered because of inexact timestamp
conversion).
Some encoders (e.g. flac) need to send side data when there is no more
data to be output. This enables them to output a packet with no data in
it, only side data.
Add AV_PKT_DATA_DISPLAYMATRIX and AV_FRAME_DATA_DISPLAYMATRIX as stream and
frame side data (respectively) to describe a display transformation matrix
for linear transformation operations on the decoded video.
Add functions to easily extract a rotation angle from a matrix and
conversely to setup a matrix for a given rotation angle.

Right now, the caller has to manually manage some allocated
AVCodecContext fields, like extradata or subtitle_header. This is
fragile and prone to leaks, especially if we want to add more such
fields in the future.
The only reason for this behaviour is so that the AVStream codec context
can be reused for decoding. Such reuse is discouraged anyway, so this
commit is the first step to deprecating it.
Use it instead of checking CODEC_FLAG_BITEXACT in the first stream's
codec context.
Using codec options inside lavf is fragile and can easily break when the
muxing codec context is not the encoding context.
Old Intel GPUs expect the reference frame index to the actual surface,
instead of the index into RefFrameList as specified by the spec.
This workaround should be set when using one of the "ClearVideo" decoder
devices.

According to the ReplayGain spec, the peak amplitude may overflow and may result
in peak amplitude values greater than 1.0 with psychoacoustically coded audio,
such as MP3. Fully compliant decoders must allow peak overflows.
Additionally, having peak values in the 0<->UINT32_MAX scale makes it more
difficult for applications to actually use the peak values (e.g. when
implementing clipping prevention) since values have to be rescaled down.
This patch corrects the peak parsing by removing the rescaling of the decoded
values between 0 and UINT32_MAX and the 1.0 upper limit.

Currently ff_interleave_packet_per_dts() waits until it gets a frame for
each stream before outputting packets in interleaved order.
Sparse streams (i.e. streams with much fewer packets than the other
streams, like subtitles or audio with DTX) tend to add up latency and in
specific cases end up allocating a large amount of memory.
Emit the top packet from the packet_buffer if it has a time delta
larger than a specified threshold.

Applications that have been linked against an older release of Libav and pick up
updated libraries experience segmentation faults because they pick up the new
libavfilter, which assumes AVFrames have been allocated by libavutil and thus
contain new reference-counting related fields. This will break for AVFrames that
have been allocated by old libavcodec.
All scheduled API changes are deferred to the next bump.
Commit 41578f70cf changed the LLS API, which was
called from libavcodec. Thus using an old libavcodec with a new libavutil will
break.
All scheduled API changes are deferred to the next bump.
This can be optionally disabled whith the "output_corrupt" flags
