Add docs for the internal audioconvert object before moving it to the
audio library.
Remove get_sizes and implement the trivial logic in the element.
Remove some unused orc functions
Use (1 << 31) as the multiplier for int<->float conversions. This makes
sure that int->float conversions always end up with floats between
[-1.0, 1.0].
For the conversion from float to int, this multiplier will give the complete
int range after we perform clipping.
Change the unit test to take this into consideration.
Fixes https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755301
Rewrite audioconvert to try to make it more clear what steps are
executed during conversion.
Add passthrough step that just does a memcpy when possible.
Add ORC optimized dither and quantization functions.
Implement noise-shaping on S32 samples only and allow for arbitrary
noise shaping coefficients if we want this later.
Rework the converter to use the pack/unpack functions
Because the unpack functions can only unpack to 1 format, add a separate
conversion step for doubles when the unpack function produces int.
Do conversion to S32 in the quantize function directly.
Tweak the conversion factor for doing float->int conversion slightly to
get the full range of negative samples, use clamp to make sure we don't
exceed our int range on the positive axis (see also #755301)
This should speed up standard Vorbis encoding and decoding pipelines a bit.
Thanks to David Schleef for the assistance to get the ORC code right
and explaining everything.
