It has recently gained popularity through the ComputerCraft mod for
Minecraft, which added support for audio through this codec, as well as
the Computronics expansion which preceeded the official support. These
both implement the slightly adjusted 1a version of the codec, which is
the version I have chosen for this patch.
This patch adds a new codec (with encoding and decoding) for DFPWM1a.
The codec sources are pretty simple: they use the reference codec with
a basic wrapper to connect it to the FFmpeg AVCodec system.
To clarify, the codec does not have a specific sample rate - it is
provided by the container (or user), which is typically 48000, but has
also been known to be 32768. The codec does not specify channel info
either, and it's pretty much always used with one mono channel.
However, since it appears that libavcodec expects both sample rate and
channel count to be handled by either the codec or container, I have
made the decision to allow multiple channels interleaved, which as far
as I know has never been used, but it works fine here nevertheless. The
accompanying raw format has a channels option to set this. (I expect
most users of this will not use multiple channels, but it remains an
option just in case.)
This patch will be highly useful to ComputerCraft developers who are
working with audio, as it is the standard format for audio, and there
are few user-friendly encoders out there, and even fewer decoders. It
will streamline the process for importing and listening to audio,
replacing the need to write code or use tools that require very
specific input formats.
You may use the CraftOS-PC program (https://www.craftos-pc.cc) to test
out DFPWM playback. To use it, run the program and type this command:
"attach left speaker" Then run "speaker play <file.dfpwm>" for each file.
The app runs in a sandbox, so files have to be transferred in first;
the easiest way to do this is to simply drag the file on the window.
(Or copy files to the folder at https://www.craftos-pc.cc/docs/saves.)
Sample DFPWM files can be generated with an online tool at
https://music.madefor.cc. This is the current best way to encode DFPWM
files. Simply drag an audio file onto the page, and it will encode it,
giving a download link on the page.
I've made sure to update all of the docs as per Developer§7, and I've
tested it as per section 8. Test files encoded to DFPWM play correctly
in ComputerCraft, and other files that work in CC are correctly decoded.
I have also verified that corrupt files do not crash the decoder - this
should theoretically not be an issue as the result size is constant with
respect to the input size.

Since a247ac640d, allcodecs.c contained
two lines that matched the regex used by find_filters_extern in
configure; as a result, libx264 appeared twice the list of codecs
(if enabled).
Fix this by using only one matching line by adding a preprocessor define
for the part that differed in the two old lines: The const qualifier.

Given that the AVCodec.next pointer has now been removed, most of the
AVCodecs are not modified at all any more and can therefore be made
const (as this patch does); the only exceptions are the very few codecs
for external libraries that have a init_static_data callback.

The manual states "there is virtually no reason to use that encoder.".
It supports less sample formats than the native encoder, is less efficient
than the native encoder and is also slower and pretty much remains untested.
libwavpack also isn't being fuzzed, which given that we plug the parameters
without any sanitizing them looks concerning.
AV1 decoder is supported on Tiger Lake+ platforms since libmfx 1.34

This AV1 decoder is currently only used for hardware accelerated decoding.
It can be extended into a native decoder in the future, so set its name to
"av1" and temporarily give it the lowest priority in the codec list.
