[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/1] avcodec/dolby_e: Add error recovery when parse_mantissas run out of bits

[Nicolas Gaullier]

Mantissas are the last data in the channel subsegment and it appears it is
sometimes missing a very few bits for the parsing to complete.
This should not be confused with data corruption.
For 5.1+2 at 25fps, the occurence of this issue is pretty steady and about once every 2 hours.
The truncation is at about 950 out of the 1024 values (never seen below 923 so far).
The current code raises a severe 'Read past end' error and all data is lost resulting in
20ms(@25fps) of silence for the affected channel.
This patch introduces a tolerance: if 800 out of the 1024 mantissas have been parsed,
a simple warning is raised and the data is preserved.
