It's been over a week now, so I just wanted to let everyone know I am
still working on this.  I've moved all common code between the encoder,
decoder, and parser to ac3.c.  The code has been cleaned up and
commented.  Downmixing works great and is in a separate file, ac3mix.h.
   Speed is good for stereo content, same speed as liba52 on my system.
 I still have 3 issues I need to sort out though.

1) still don't have 256-point IMDCT working.  I've made it add silence
   instead of loud pops though.

2) 6-channel output doesn't seem to be working properly.

3) 5.1-channel decoding speed is about 40% slower than liba52 on my
   system.

Once I get these fixed, I'll post a new patch.
