Ayoub Nabil 2312ae4d10 avcodec/ac3dec: avoid coefficient truncation in float decoder
The float decoder dequantized spectral coefficients into an int32_t
buffer using mantissa >> exponent. This discarded the fractional part
before conversion to float and substantially raised the dither noise
floor for low-level coefficients.

Store decoded coefficients as INTFLOAT and apply 2^-exponent directly
in the floating-point path. Keep the fixed-point decoder unchanged, and
perform coupling, rematrixing and final scaling in the native type.

This also removes the now-unused fmtconvert dependency. Add a synthetic
FATE test that measures the corrected dither level. Existing PCM
references remain within one sample except fate-ac3-2.0, whose measured
maximum difference is two samples.

Fixes #23684.

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.

Documentation
