The 3GPP spec uses the following calculation for high spreading:
thr'_spr = max(thr_scaled, s_h(n) * thr_scaled(n-1))
where, n is defined as the current band, and s_h() is defined as "[...] the
distance of adjacent bands in Bark and a constant slope that is 15 dB/Bark
[...]". This is a little ambiguous as you would assume you want the Bark
width of the previous band for this calculation. However, this assumption
appears to be incorrect, and you really want the Bark width of the current
band. Coincidentally this is exactly what the spec calls for! =P
This noticeably improves Tom's Diner at low bitrates (I tested at 64kbps,
with mid/side disabled).

This greatly improves bitrate handling. You will now get within a few
kbps of your requested bitrate instead of 20-40kbps higher.
There is absolutely no analog to this line in the 3GPP spec, that I
can find.

Removing the modification vastly improves quality (at a slight bitrate
cost) for some samples. castanets.wav is a good example. The closest
equivalent I see to the modification in the 3GPP spec is a similar
modification (over a specific frequency range) when TNS is used.
This also changes the threshold-in-quiet calculation to match the
3GPP spec.

According to the 3GPP spec:
"Thus the pre-echo control is inactive for the first short window (but
not all short windows in a short frame) after a start block and for
all frames with a stop window sequence."
Currently, pre-echo control is only run when the current frame is not
a short frame, and the previous frame is not a short frame.

I used the same loop counter for the inner and outer initalization loops.
This caused initalization to only run for the first channel. This in turn lead
to any channel other than the first using only short blocks.

This performs quite a bit better than the current 3GPP-inspired window decision
on all the samples I have tested. On the castanets.wav sample it performs very
similar to iTunes window selection, and seems to perform better than Nero.
On fatboy.wav, it seems to perform at least as good as iTunes, if not better.
Nero performs horribly on this sample.

This allows cleaner implementation of other psymodels using the existing
structs. It also will make it easier to interchange individual parts of
the psymodel to create hybrid models.

Fix the MDCT line to frequency calculation for the first line in each sfb.
Use this value to calculate ATH.

This keeps the encoder from switching away from an wight short sequence
prematurely when attacks are detected two frames in a row. It also allows for
the legal and useful LONG_STOP_SEQUENCE to LONG_START_SEQUENCE transition.
