about cavdsp
 "m"(ff_pw_5), "m"(ff_pw_4) should be changed to MANGLE()

"m"(ADD),  "m"(MUL1), "m"(MUL2) should be replaced by a single pointer
into a const static table of the constants

i do not know if this is sufficicent ...

Anyway, as we dont have any person who knows asm, is willing to write a
clean workaround for this nor willing to report to gcc ... theres not
much i will do except wait for someone to volunteer to work on this ...

Many things microsoft did are stupid, but not doing something just because
microsoft did it is even more stupid. If everything ms did were stupid they
would be bankrupt already.
