[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH]Support *law in alsa

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

Hi!

Surprisingly, attached patch works with -f alsa plughw - audio encoded in 
mulaw or alaw is played fine (SND_PCM_FORMAT_IMA_ADPCM leads to division by 
zero, and with a work-around, I can only hear - recognisable - noise, somebody 
else will have to fix/explain).

If nobody objects (I did not check if there is a supported Alsa version that 
does not define the formats), I will apply together with the unsigned versions 
of the already supported formats.
