Comment (by compn):

 i collected a few samples from this ticket and put them here:
 https://samples.ffmpeg.org/A-codecs/ac-4/

 to answer questions:
 nothing is really holding up the patch besides a lack of motivation. the
 code has to be submitted to ffmpeg-devel list and reviewed and fixed (by
 the person who sends the patch) and then possibly resubmitted with fixes +
 reviewed again or applied. which is the process for almost all new code in
 ffmpeg.

 if you are interested in sponsoring the ac4 decoder in ffmpeg, you could
 contact paul and offer to pay him to submit the code to ffmpeg , paul's
 ac-4 decoder is in his ffmpeg fork on github
 https://github.com/librempeg/librempeg/blob/master/libavcodec/ac4dec.c and
 looks like its being actively developed.

 if you are interested in sponsoring codec work , feel free to send a mail
 to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list. something like 'we are interested in
 sponsoring work on ffmpeg (insert what you want worked on), please contact
 us for more information'. we also have an ffmpeg consulting page where
 available developers can offer their services.
