I have no comments on the patch itself, but can you explain why we're
re-implementing a custom f/idct rather than using the one provided in
lavcodec? It seems to me that going from fixedpoint/simd'ed to float/c
would be slower, not faster, so there must be more to this patch than what
I'm getting from it...
