[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avformat/mp3dec: improve junk skipping heuristic

[wm4]

Commit 2b3e9bbfb529e6bde238aeb511b55ebe461664c8 caused problems for a
certain API user:

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=537725
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=542032

The problem seems rather arbitrary, because if there's junk, anything
can happen. In this case, the imperfect junk skipping just caused it to
read different junk, from what I can see.

We can improve the accuracy of junk detection by a lot by checking if 2
consecutive frames use the same configuration. While in theory it might
be completely fine for the 1st frame to have a different format than the
2nd frame, it's exceedingly unlikely, and I can't think of a legitimate
use-case.

This is approximately the same mpg123 does for junk skipping, and the
set of compared header bits is exactly the same.
---
The reason Chromium had so much problems with this is that they don't
allow mid-stream format changes at all, and the junk triggered format
changes.

(Would be nice if Google paid me for this.)
