[Ffmpeg-devel] Contacting developers by subversion name

[Paul Richards]

I'm looking from line 104 onwards.  At this part the various
ogg_packet structs are being packed together into the AVCodecContext's
extradata fields.  There is some magic happening that I don't follow:

len = header.bytes + header_comm.bytes +  header_code.bytes;
avccontext->extradata_size= 64 + len + len/255;
p = avccontext->extradata= av_mallocz(avccontext->extradata_size);
p[0] = 2;
offset = 1;
offset += av_xiphlacing(&p[offset], header.bytes);
offset += av_xiphlacing(&p[offset], header_comm.bytes);
memcpy(&p[offset], header.packet, header.bytes);
offset += header.bytes;
memcpy(&p[offset], header_comm.packet, header_comm.bytes);
offset += header_comm.bytes;
memcpy(&p[offset], header_code.packet, header_code.bytes);
offset += header_code.bytes;
avccontext->extradata_size = offset;
avccontext->extradata= av_realloc(avccontext->extradata,
avccontext->extradata_size);

Can the "64 + len + len / 255" expression be explained?  I see that
the buffer is later reduced in size based on the actual value for
offset.  Is this expression simply something which is guessed to be
"large enough"?

Can the "p[0] = 2" be explained?

What does av_xiphlacing do?  It has no documentation that I can find.

Thanks. :)
