AAC: Compress codebook tables and optimise sign bit handling The codebooks each consist of small number of values repeated in groups of 2 or 4. Storing the codebooks as a packed list of 2- or 4-bit indexes into a table reduces their size substantially (from 7.5k to 1.5k), resulting in less cache pressure. For the band types with sign bits in the bitstream, storing the number and position of non-zero codebook values using a few bits avoids multiple get_bits() calls and floating-point comparisons which gcc handles miserably. Some float/int type punning also avoids gcc brain damage. Overall speedup 20-35% on Cortex-A8, 20% on Core i7.
