Contrary to C, C++ compilers don't promote larger constants up to
unsigned long long when needed.

No need to invoke vlc-config to expand a shell variable.

The lock is static anyway (and so is the data).

This is really poor implementation, but it is not really used.

 * No recursion within the VLC threading functions.
 * No need to care about VLC cancellation.

The overhead is negligible, and this avoids depending on the message
bank.

As blocks are in coding orders, calling ES_OUT_SET_PCR at each blocks increase to trigger ES_OUT_RESET_PCR.
The reference blocks should be in chronological order though.

The release of the block only makes sense if the edition is ordered.

This is the 12-bits logarithmic found on digital magnetic tapes,
also known at MIME audio/DAT12 (IETF RFC3190).

This is also known as MIME audio/L20 (IETF RFC3190)

 * Use GCC built-ins for 32-bits and 64-bits byte swap where available.
 * Load/store with single memcpy() instead of many byte operations.
 * Do not use bits operations for the local byte order.
 * Do not use reserved C keywords with leading underscores.
