[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v4] lavc/audiotoolboxenc: fix noise in encoded audio

[zhangjiejun1992 at gmail.com]

From: Jiejun Zhang <zhangjiejun1992 at gmail.com>

This fixes #6940

Although undocumented, AudioToolbox seems to require the data supplied
by the callback (i.e. ffat_encode_callback) being unchanged until the
next time the callback is called. In the old implementation, the
AVBuffer backing the frame is recycled after the frame is freed, and
somebody else (maybe the decoder) will write into the AVBuffer and
change the data. AudioToolbox then encodes some wrong data and noise
is produced. Retaining a frame reference solves this problem.
