Thanks for the discussion. Here's the next version, now with /25 and removed
ff_log2().
The blocksize of the PCM decoder is hard-coded. This creates
unnecessary delay when reading low-rate (<100Hz) streams. This creates
issues when multiplexing multiple streams, since other inputs are only
opened/read after a low-rate input block was completely read.
This patch decreases the blocksize for low-rate inputs, so
approximately a block is read every 40ms. This decreases the startup
delay when multiplexing inputs with different rates.

Currently, AVStream contains an embedded AVCodecContext instance, which
is used by demuxers to export stream parameters to the caller and by
muxers to receive stream parameters from the caller. It is also used
internally as the codec context that is passed to parsers.
In addition, it is also widely used by the callers as the decoding (when
demuxer) or encoding (when muxing) context, though this has been
officially discouraged since Libav 11.
There are multiple important problems with this approach:
- the fields in AVCodecContext are in general one of
* stream parameters
* codec options
* codec state
However, it's not clear which ones are which. It is consequently
unclear which fields are a demuxer allowed to set or a muxer allowed to
read. This leads to erratic behaviour depending on whether decoding or
encoding is being performed or not (and whether it uses the AVStream
embedded codec context).
- various synchronization issues arising from the fact that the same
context is used by several different APIs (muxers/demuxers,
parsers, bitstream filters and encoders/decoders) simultaneously, with
there being no clear rules for who can modify what and the different
processes being typically delayed with respect to each other.
- avformat_find_stream_info() making it necessary to support opening
and closing a single codec context multiple times, thus
complicating the semantics of freeing various allocated objects in the
codec context.
Those problems are resolved by replacing the AVStream embedded codec
context with a newly added AVCodecParameters instance, which stores only
the stream parameters exported by the demuxers or read by the muxers.
While here remove pts/dts code, it is apparently not needed and cause
problems for demuxers that will use such function.

Prefix the functions/tables brktimegm, pcm_read_seek,
dv_offset_reset, voc_get_packet, codec_movaudio_tags,
codec_movvideo_tags.
After this, lavf has no global symbols without the proper prefix.
