I have some spare time again, I'd like to reimplement the "consistent
noise generation" patch I made awhile back.
To clarify what that is, some codecs use pseudo-random noise generation
in the decoding process (noise bands). The idea is to enable seeding
that pseudo-random generator with the bytes of the audio frame so that
the decoded output is always the same given the same compressed audio
data. I'm not concerned with noise generation given silent audio blocks
since silent audio blocks have no sound anyway. Software that needs
consistent decoding (like NLE editing software) can enable this option.
Last time my patch was rejected because it used the flags field of the
AVContext. I understand that the FFMPEG project would rather have it an
option given through the av options dictionary instead, correct? I'm
thinking the avoption should be named "cng" as a boolean set to 0 or 1,
off by default.
Any suggestions?
