[FFmpeg-devel] One pass volume normalization (ebur128)

I am once again proposing a patch for one pass volume normalization base
on ebur128, as I see this still did not make it into FFMpeg 2.0. My
patch is heaveily based on Clément Bœsch's proposal in
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.ffmpeg.devel/159978

We have been using this patch now for more than 4 months and 1800+
videos of approximately 1 hour have been transcoded with it.

Part of our FFMpeg commandline reads as
-filter_complex \
    "[0:v]setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[v0];[0:a]asetpts=PTS-STARTPTS,ebur128=metadata=1,volume=metadata=lavfi.r128.I,ebur128[a0]" \
   -map [v0] -map [a0]

It uses the already present ebur128 meta injection to adjust the
volume on the fly. What would be the objection to move this into the
FFMpeg core, so I do not have to patch my FFMpeg every time I compile
a new one? I applied the patch below to FFMpeg Release/v.2.0.
