It would be possible to use encoder-specific constants for the option
and translate this to the codec-specific ones that get written in the
file. Users that only set the prediction method via the strings (like
"-pred median") would not be affected, but users using the
codec-specific numerical values would be.
I opted for the minimal change in my patch.
