When enabled, phase-inversion slightly increase stereo quality, but
produce a stream that when downmixed to mono will present important
audio distortion. This patch disables this feature by default and
introduce a property that let user enable it if desired.

Previously, PLC frames always had a length of 120ms, which caused audio
quality degradation and synchronization errors. Fix this by calculating an
appropriate length for the PLC frame.
The length must be a multiple of 2.5ms. Calculate a multiple of 2.5ms that
is nearest to the current PLC length. Any leftover PLC length that didn't
make it into this frame is accumulated for the next PLC frame.

It would ideally be better to leave this to a rgvolume element,
but we don't control the pipeline. So do it by default, and allow
disabling it via a property, so the correct volume should always
be output.
This allows reconstruction of lost packets if FEC info is included
in the next packet, at the cost of extra latency. Since we do not
know if the stream has FEC (and this can change at runtime), we
always incur the latency, even if we never lose any frame, or see
any FEC information. Off by default.
Parameters such as frame size, etc, are variable. Pretty much
everything can change within a stream, so be prepared about it,
and do not cache parameters in the decoder.
