Here is a very short sample set with an audacity screen grab which shows the effect of the fix:

I don't know how to make this patch acceptable... and especially I understand that setting an arbitrary limit with a #define does not look to be the best practice in the world.
The fact is that the reference implementation (checked against dp600 and a certified broadcast encoder) does handle that (maybe with no limit at all, hard to tell).
Do you have any suggestion ?
If it can help, I can post a message to ffmpeg-user to gain more users support ?
