[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] encoding MP2 with Toolame

[Nico Sabbi]

This patch permits to encode to mp2 using Toolame 
(a much better encoder than libavcodec).

You need a librarized version of toolame, such as 0.2m-beta-*
available here http://users.tpg.com.au/adslblvi/

At the moment only CBR is supported; there is some support for vbr
encoding,
but it doesn't work yet.

In mencoder.c I copied all the AVI specific assignments from 
the code that calls libavcodec; I'm not familiar with that
abomination, so I hope someone will review that code (TIA :) )

The requisites are: 

- during configure you have to pass --with-toolamedir parameter (where 
you compiled toolame), e.g.:

./configure --with-toolamedir=/path/to/toolame/libtoolame/

- at run time the source must have 1 or 2 channels with 16 bit samples;

Successfully tested with all permitted bitrates, avi and mpeg formats.

A patch to the man page will follow when I have some more time.
