you can apply the bias after both filters, just before the >>7 and a filter
indepandant bias should be possible
after the >>7 you unbias it
the first can be merged with the rounder so its just 1 sub more
all that assumes that you remove all incorrect saturation arithmetic

Its not that you shouldnt use gotos but rather that you should write
readable code and code with gotos often but not always is less readable
