Compared to existing, common opensource H264 encoders, this can be
useful since it has got a different license (BSD instead of GPL).
Performance- and qualitywise it is comparable to x264 in ultrafast
mode.
Hooking it up as an encoder in libavcodec also simplifies comparing
it against other common encoders.
This requires OpenH264 1.3 or newer. Since the OpenH264 API and ABI
changes frequently, only releases are supported.
To take advantage of the OpenH264 patent offer, the OpenH264 library
must not be redistributed, but downloaded at runtime at the end-user's
system.

Since the VDPAU pixel format does not distinguish between different
VDPAU video surface chroma types, we need another way to pass this
data to the application.
Originally VDPAU in libavcodec only supported decoding to 8-bits YUV
with 4:2:0 chroma sampling. Correspondingly, applications assumed that
libavcodec expected VDP_CHROMA_TYPE_420 video surfaces for output.
However some of the new HEVC profiles proposed for addition to VDPAU
would require different depth and/or sampling:

...as would lossless AVC profiles:

To preserve backward binary compatibility with existing applications,
a new av_vdpau_bind_context() flag is introduced in a further change.

This carries the pixel format that would be used if it were not for
hardware acceleration. This is equal to AVCodecContext.pix_fmt if
hardware acceleration is not in use.

For streams which contain DRC metadata, the FDK decoder is able to
control rendering of the decoded output. The rendering parameters
are detailed in fdk_aac_dec_options [].
The default behavior is left up to the decoder.

The FDK decoder is capable of producing mono and stereo downmix from
multichannel streams. These streams may contain metadata that control
the downmix process. The decoder requires an Ancillary Buffer in order to
correctly apply downmix in streams containing downmix Metadata. The
decoder does not have an API interface to inform of the presence of
Metadata in the stream, and therefore the Ancillary Buffer is always
allocated whenever a downmix is requested.
When downmixing multichannel streams, the decoder requires the output
buffer in aacDecoder_DecodeFrame call to be of fixed size in order to
hold the actual number of channels contained in the stream. For example,
for a 5.1ch to stereo downmix, the decoder requires that the output buffer
is allocated for 6 channels, regardless of the fact that the output is in
fact two channels.
Due to this requirement, the output buffer is allocated for the maximum
output buffer size in case a downmix is requested (and also during
decoder init). When a downmix is requested, the buffer used for output
during init will also be used for the entire duration the decoder is open.
Otherwise, the initial decoder output buffer is freed and the decoder
decodes straight into the output AVFrame.

When decoding, this field holds the inverse of the framerate that can be
written in the headers for some codecs. Using a field called 'time_base'
for this is very misleading, as there are no timestamps associated with
it. Furthermore, this field is used for a very different purpose during
encoding.
Add a new field, called 'framerate', to replace the use of time_base for
decoding.
Decoding acceleration may work even if the codec level is higher than
the stated limit of the VDPAU driver. Or the problem may be considered
acceptable by the user. This flag allows skipping the codec level
capability checks and proceed with decoding.
Applications should obviously not set this flag by default, but only if
the user explicitly requested this behavior (and presumably knows how
to turn it back off if it fails).

Currently, the amount of padding inserted at the beginning by some audio
encoders, is exported through AVCodecContext.delay. However
- the term 'delay' is heavily overloaded and can have multiple different
meanings even in the case of audio encoding.
- this field has entirely different meanings, depending on whether the
codec context is used for encoding or decoding (and has yet another
different meaning for video), preventing generic handling of the codec
context.
Therefore, add a new field -- AVCodecContext.initial_padding. It could
conceivably be used for decoding as well at a later point.
The register function now specifies that the user callback should
leave things in the same state that it found them on failure but
that failure to destroy is ignored by the library. The register
function is now explicit about its behavior on failure
(it unregisters the previous callback and destroys all mutex).

This function provides an explicit VDPAU device and VDPAU driver to
libavcodec, so that the application is relieved from codec specifics
and VdpDevice life cycle management.
A stub flags parameter is added for future extension. For instance, it
could be used to ignore codec level capabilities (if someone feels
dangerous).

It allows attaching other external, opaque data to the frame and passing it
through the reordering process, for cases when the caller wants other data
than just the plain packet pts. There is no way to cleanly achieve this
without the field.
For implicit signaling cases (as possible for Spectral Band Replication
and Parametric Stereo Tools), the decoder must decode the first frame to
correctly identify the stream configuration (as called from
avformat_find_stream_info). The mechanism for this is built-in and only
requires adding CODEC_CAP_CHANNEL_CONF to the libfdk-aacdec AVCodec
struct.

The default error concealment method if none is set via
aacDecoder_SetParam(AAC_CONCEAL_METHOD) is set in
CConcealment_InitCommonData within the fdk-aac library
and is set to Energy Interpolation. This method requires one frame
delay to the output. To reduce the default decoder output delay and
avoid missing the last frame in file based decoding, use Noise
Substitution as the default concealment method.

Some encoders (e.g. flac) need to send side data when there is no more
data to be output. This enables them to output a packet with no data in
it, only side data.
Right now, the caller has to manually manage some allocated
AVCodecContext fields, like extradata or subtitle_header. This is
fragile and prone to leaks, especially if we want to add more such
fields in the future.
The only reason for this behaviour is so that the AVStream codec context
can be reused for decoding. Such reuse is discouraged anyway, so this
commit is the first step to deprecating it.

XvMC has long ago been superseded by newer acceleration APIs, such as
VDPAU, and few downstreams still support it. Furthermore XvMC is not
implemented within the hwaccel framework, but requires its own specific
code in the MPEG-1/2 decoder, which is a maintenance burden.
