[FFmpeg-devel] [PR] aacsbr_template: fix SBR USAC coupling (PR #21548)

[Lynne via ffmpeg-devel]

PR #21548 opened by Lynne
URL: https://code.ffmpeg.org/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/pulls/21548
Patch URL: https://code.ffmpeg.org/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/pulls/21548.patch

This issue hid under the radar since the codebooks between coupling
modes very often result in identical bit counts regardless of the encoded
data, leading to no frame-level bitstream desyncs except in rare cases.

AAC Mps212 data is parsed immediately after the SBR data, where a loss
of sync in SBR will result in Mps212 being wildly different.
