[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] speedhq: fix decoding artifacts

The quantization table is stored in the natural order, but when we
access it, we use an index that's in zigzag order, causing us to read
the wrong value. This causes artifacts, especially in areas with
horizontal or vertical edges. The artifacts look a lot like the
DCT ringing artifacts you'd expect to see from a low-bitrate file,
but when comparing to NewTek's own decoder, it's obvious they're not
supposed to be there.

Fix by simply storing the scaled quantization table in zigzag order.
Performance is unchanged.
