Well spotted.

The bulk of this is plagarised from mpeg12.c. Whereas the previous EA TQI
codec used the MPEG-1 intra coefficient encoding method, for MAD the
authors have changed the coding for the escaped RL values.

So I have left this verbose low-level code in with a comment. Suggestions
on how to better reuse the code without bloat are welcome.
