I/S energy, especially when it comes to phase cancellations,
needs to use signed coefficients as input, yet it was using
abs'd coefficients. That was a slight bug.
The relative error between two encoding strategies is the simple
difference of rate-distortion values, and not the absolute
difference. An absolute measure would allow worsening of the
quantization error as well as improving.
1. Fix sf_idx and band_type addressing to address only the first
subwindow in the group (others could hold garbage values)
2. Don't step on ms_mask when is_mask is set. I/S selection
already sets the ms_mask properly and shouldn't be overridden.
3. Use mid/sid cb/sf when computing coding error, as should be
since those are the cb/sfs that will eventually be set.
4. Fix distortion computation on multi-subwindow groups (was
subtracting the bits terms multiple times)
5. Clear ms_mask when one side uses PNS and the other doesn't.
When using PNS, ms_mask signals correlated noise, which can be
detected just like regular M/S detection, so we don't skip
noise bands, but when only one side uses PNS setting the flag
can confuse some encoders, so avoid that.
Fixes Ticket #5032
The samples in Ticket #5032 is using \r\r\n as line breaks. Since we
already are handling \r, or \n, or \r\n as line breaks, \r\n\n will be
considered as a double line breaks. This is an issue because
ff_subtitles_read_text_chunk() will as a result stop extracting a chunk
after just one line.
So instead of parsing the SRT by "chunks" (which means splitting every
double LB), this new parser is detecting timing lines, and split the
events on this basis. While this sounds safe and simple, it needs to
take into account the event number preceding the timing line while
handling situations such as:
- event number starting at 0 or actually any number instead of 1
- event numbers not being ordered at all
- event number being followed by text garbage (this really happened,
see Ticket #4898)
- event payload containing one or multiple number (a protagonist saying
a count-down, a date or whatever) which could be confused with a
chapter number
- event number being empty (see Ticket #2167)
- all kind of weird line breaks can appear randomly like wild pokémons
- untrustable line breaks (Ticket #5032)
The sample madness.srt tries to sum up most of this into one sample,
ticket5032-rrn.srt is the file containing \r\r\n line breaks. and
empty-events-2167.srt contains empty events.
The DCA core decoder converts integer coefficients read from the
bitstream to floats just after reading them (along with dequantization).
All the other steps of the audio reconstruction are done with floats
which makes the output for the DTS lossless extension (XLL)
actually lossy.
This patch changes the DCA core to work with integer coefficients
until QMF. At this point the integer coefficients are converted to floats.
The coefficients for the LFE channel (lfe_data) are not touched.
This is the first step for the really lossless XLL decoding.
This should fix this test failing on kfreebsd, a regression since
6e5dbe7, which decreased the CMP_TARGET by 1.

With only 7 coefficients per short window at most the extra precision
makes a difference and seems to reduce crackling and stddev even
further.

This patch does 4 things, all of which interact and thus it
woudln't be possible to commit them separately without causing
either quality regressions or assertion failures.
Fate comparison targets don't all reflect improvements in
quality, yet listening tests show substantially improved quality
and stability.
1. Increase SF range utilization.
The spec requires SF delta values to be constrained within the
range -60..60. The previous code was applying that range to
the whole SF array and not only the deltas of consecutive values,
because doing so requires smarter code: zeroing or otherwise
skipping a band may invalidate lots of SF choices.
This patch implements that logic to allow the coders to utilize
the full dynamic range of scalefactors, increasing quality quite
considerably, and fixing delta-SF-related assertion failures,
since now the limitation is enforced rather than asserted.
2. PNS tweaks
The previous modification makes big improvements in twoloop's
efficiency, and every time that happens PNS logic needs to be
tweaked accordingly to avoid it from stepping all over twoloop's
decisions. This patch includes modifications of the sort.
3. Account for lowpass cutoff during PSY analysis
The closer PSY's allocation is to final allocation the better
the quality is, and given these modifications, twoloop is now
very efficient at avoiding holes. Thus, to compute accurate
thresholds, PSY needs to account for the lowpass applied
implicitly during twoloop (by zeroing high bands).
This patch makes twoloop set the cutoff in psymodel's context
the first time it runs, and makes PSY account for it during
threshold computation, making PE and threshold computations
closer to the final allocation and thus achieving better
subjective quality.
4. Tweaks to RC lambda tracking loop in relation to PNS
Without this tweak some corner cases cause quality regressions.
Basically, lambda needs to react faster to overall bitrate
efficiency changes since now PNS can be quite successful in
enforcing maximum bitrates, when PSY allocates too many bits
to the lower bands, suppressing the signals RC logic uses to
lower lambda in those cases and causing aggressive PNS.
This tweak makes PNS much less aggressive, though it can still
use some further tweaks.
Also update MIPS specializations and adjust fuzz
Also in lavc/mips/aacpsy_mips.h: remove trailing whitespace
"Fast seek" uses linear interpolation to find the position of the
requested seek time. For CBR this is more direct than using the
mp3 TOC and bypassing the TOC avoids problems with TOC precision.
(see https://crbug.com/545914#c13)
For VBR, fast seek is not precise, so continue to prefer the TOC
when available (the lesser of two evils).
Also, some re-ordering of the logic in mp3_seek to simplify and
give usetoc=1 precedence over fastseek flag.

As noted in a comment, pe.min in the reference encoder
is centered around current pe. The bit reservoir algo
needs pe.min to be a local minimum, because it can only
account for local PE variations. If it's set to a global
minimum as was being done, bit reservoir logic doesn't
work as efficiently.
This patch tries to forget old minimums and converge to
a local minimum without losing the stability of the
previous solution. Listening tests until now suggest this
solves numerous RC issues.
