All encoders set pts and dts properly now (and have been doing that for
a while), so there is no good reason to do any timestamp guessing in the
muxer.
The newly added AVStreamInternal will be later used for storing all the
private fields currently living in AVStream.
This improves accuracy for the bessel function at large arguments, and this in turn
should improve the quality of the Kaiser window. It also improves the
performance of the bessel function and hence build_filter by ~ 20%.
Details are given below.
Algorithm: taken from the Boost project, who have done a detailed
investigation of the accuracy of their method, as compared with e.g the
GNU Scientific Library (GSL):
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/libs/math/doc/sf_and_dist/html/math_toolkit/special/bessel/mbessel.html.
Boost source code (also cited and licensed in the code):
https://searchcode.com/codesearch/view/14918379/.
Accuracy: sample values may be obtained as follows. i0 denotes the old bessel code,
i0_boost the approach here, and i0_real an arbitrary precision result (truncated) from Wolfram Alpha:
type "bessel i0(6.0)" to reproduce. These are evaluation points that occur for
the default kaiser_beta = 9.
Some illustrations:
bessel(8.0)
i0 (8.000000) = 427.564115721804739678191254
i0_boost(8.000000) = 427.564115721804796521610115
i0_real (8.000000) = 427.564115721804785177396791
bessel(6.0)
i0 (6.000000) = 67.234406976477956163762428
i0_boost(6.000000) = 67.234406976477970374617144
i0_real (6.000000) = 67.234406976477975326188025
Reason for accuracy: Main accuracy benefits come at larger bessel arguments, where the
Taylor-Maclaurin method is not that good: 23+ iterations
(at large arguments, since the series is about 0) can cause
significant floating point error accumulation.
Benchmarks: Obtained on x86-64, Haswell, GNU/Linux via a loop calling
build_filter 1000 times:

A further ~ 5% may be squeezed by enabling -ftree-vectorize. However,
this is a separate issue from this patch.

Kaiser windows inherently don't require beta to be an integer. This was
an arbitrary restriction. Moreover, soxr does not require it, and in
fact often estimates beta to a non-integral value.
Thus, this patch allows greater flexibility for swresample clients.
Micro version is updated.

Otherwise v=INT_MIN doesn't get normalized and thus triggers av_assert2
in other functions.

The correct result can't be expressed in SoftFloat.
Currently it returns a random value from an out of bounds read.

The assert in ffmmal_stop_decoder() could trigger sometimes. The
packets_buffered counter was indeed not correctly maintained, and
packets were not subtracted from it if they were still in the waiting
queue.
For some reason, this happened especially with VC-1.
Trim unneeded leading components and trailing zeros.
Move the formating code in a separate function.
Use the function also to format the default value, it was currently
printed as plain integer, inconsistent to the way it is parsed.
