No problem. Just that the first time I submitted the patch,

I have tested that it works. I haven't tested how much it helps as 
compared to 2-pass.
The implementation is essentially identical to my 3-pass encoding for 
lavc, so the gains should also be similar. But if it doesn't help, it's 
due to my lack of tuning of the multipass mode in general (which I'm 
trying to remedy), not something specific to 3-pass.
