[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] mp3lib: Align output so that movaps can be used instead of movups

Hi,

The attached patch aligns output address of dct64 functions to 16-byte
boundary, so movaps can be used instead of movups in dct64_sse,
resulting in 2.5% faster decode.

I tested against mp3 and mp2 and both worked fine; couldn't find an
mp1 sample though.
