[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 2/2] doc: document cutoff option to ac3 and adjust the option's global documentation

[Moritz Barsnick]

cutoff is implemented as an option global to lavc, but supported only
by a few encoders. This fact is now reflected in its documentation. ac3's
support of this option is added for completeness.
