This increases the accuracy of coefficients, leading to improved quality.
Rescaling of the coefficients to full 25-bit accuracy is done rather than
offsetting the exponent values. This requires coefficient scaling to be done
before determining the rematrixing strategy. Also, the rematrixing strategy
calculation must use 64-bit math to prevent overflow due to the higher
precision coefficients.
Currently it is always 4, but this change will allow it to be adjusted when
bandwidth-related features are added such as channel coupling, enhanced
channel coupling, and spectral extension.
The rematrixing strategy reuse flags are not reset between frames, so they
need to be initialized for all blocks, not just block 0.

This is to match the value in every (E-)AC-3 file from commercial sources.
It has a negligible effect on audio quality.

It is pretty hopeless that other considerable projects will adopt
libavutil alone in other projects. Projects that need small footprint
are better off with more specialized libraries such as gnulib or rather
just copy the necessary parts that they need. With this in mind, nobody
is helped by having libavutil and libavcore split. In order to ease
maintenance inside and around FFmpeg and to reduce confusion where to
put common code, avcore's functionality is merged (back) to avutil.

This patch changes the exponent difference threshold in the exponent
strategy decision function of the AC-3 encoder. I tested lowering in
increments of 100. From 1000 down to 500 generally increased in quality
with each step, but 400 was generally much worse.

This allows for removal of the temporary pointer arrays.

This improves the audio quality significantly for stereo source with both the
fixed-point and floating-point AC-3 encoders.
Update acodec-ac3_fixed and seek-ac3_rm test references.

instead of doing it separately in 2 different functions.
This makes float AC-3 encoding approx. 3-7% faster overall.
Also, the coefficient conversion can now be easily SIMD-optimized.

accessing of structs and arrays inside the loop.
Approx. 30% faster in function extract_exponents().

Fixed-point AC-3 encoder renamed to ac3_fixed.
Regression test acodec-ac3 renamed to acodec-ac3_fixed.
Regression test lavf-rm changed to use ac3_fixed encoder.

maximum value of 1023.
This speeds up overall encoding depending on the content and bitrate.
The most improvement is with high bitrates and/or low complexity content.

instead of 64. This will change output in some cases, but it happens to not
affect the AC-3 regression tests.

This gives slightly better quality in PEAQ tests.
Code 3 gives a dBpb value of 2816 = -132dB (128 psd units = -6dB), which
corresponds to 22 bits. Since the exponents have an offset applied, the
16-bit source looks like 24-bit source to the bit allocation routine.
So using dBpb code=3 is a closer match to the exponent range.
Regression test refs updated for acodec-ac3, lavf-rm, and seek-ac3_rm.

This is optional for encoders, but it's a good idea and has minimal impact
on performance.
This will change the output for some files, but it happens not to affect the
regression tests.

This avoids a 16-bit overflow in mdct512() due to a -32768 value in costab.
References updated for acodec-ac3, lavf-rm, and seek-ac3_rm tests.
Thanks to Måns Rullgård for finding the bug.
