Currently, this option is accessed through AVCodecContext.mb_threshold,
which originally controlled reusing MB data when transcoding mpeg to
mpeg. Since the libvpx meaning is completely different from the original
mpegvideo meaning, it is better to use a separate private option for
this.
For streams which contain DRC metadata, the FDK decoder is able to
control rendering of the decoded output. The rendering parameters
are detailed in fdk_aac_dec_options [].
The default behavior is left up to the decoder.

The FDK decoder is capable of producing mono and stereo downmix from
multichannel streams. These streams may contain metadata that control
the downmix process. The decoder requires an Ancillary Buffer in order to
correctly apply downmix in streams containing downmix Metadata. The
decoder does not have an API interface to inform of the presence of
Metadata in the stream, and therefore the Ancillary Buffer is always
allocated whenever a downmix is requested.
When downmixing multichannel streams, the decoder requires the output
buffer in aacDecoder_DecodeFrame call to be of fixed size in order to
hold the actual number of channels contained in the stream. For example,
for a 5.1ch to stereo downmix, the decoder requires that the output buffer
is allocated for 6 channels, regardless of the fact that the output is in
fact two channels.
Due to this requirement, the output buffer is allocated for the maximum
output buffer size in case a downmix is requested (and also during
decoder init). When a downmix is requested, the buffer used for output
during init will also be used for the entire duration the decoder is open.
Otherwise, the initial decoder output buffer is freed and the decoder
decodes straight into the output AVFrame.

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 makes the addition of arch optimized functions easier.

The register function now specifies that the user callback should
leave things in the same state that it found them on failure but
that failure to destroy is ignored by the library. The register
function is now explicit about its behavior on failure
(it unregisters the previous callback and destroys all mutex).

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).

This is necessary to recreate the decoder with the correct parameters,
as not all codecs invoke get_format() in this case.

Using the not so new init and uninit callbacks, avcodec can now take
care of creating and destroying the VDPAU decoder instance.
The application is still responsible for creating the VDPAU device
and allocating video surfaces - this is necessary to keep video
surfaces on the GPU all the way to the output. But the application
will no longer needs to care about any codec-specific aspects.

This is similar to what is done in libx264.c
