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.
FFmpeg README
FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.
