Michael Giacomelli 9477e371a3 wma: fix overflow in the LSP exponent curve
Very low bitrate WMA files send their spectral envelope as LSP
coefficients. The curve computed from them squares two products
whose value can reach about a million, in 16.16 fixed point. Where
the envelope should be lowest the squares overflowed, and those
points came out near the curve's maximum instead: bands at the top
of the spectrum up to 17 dB too loud, and everything else a few dB
low, as levels are taken relative to the maximum.

Sum the squares in 64 bits, and let pow_m1_4() take a value above
the 16.16 range.

Checked with perfsim (Sansa e200v1 build). The curve is within
0.2 dB of ffmpeg's formula at all 57600 points of 80 blocks traced
from two files. Against ffmpeg's decode, as the mean difference in
band levels over the whole file, with the noise coding fix applied
before and after:

  StutteringFile (22 kHz mono, 20 kbps)    1.6 dB -> 0.3 dB
  shoujicomcn2117164 (same)                0.2 dB -> 0.1 dB
  terra8k (11 kHz mono, 8 kbps)            0.3 dB -> 0.0 dB

Only the five files that use LSP exponents change; the other 23
are byte-identical.

Build Your Own Rockbox

1. Clone 'rockbox' from git (or extract a downloaded archive).

   $ git clone git://git.rockbox.org/rockbox

     or

   $ tar xJf rockbox.tar.xz

2. Create a build directory, preferably in the same directory as the firmware/
   and apps/ directories. This is where all generated files will be written.

   $ cd rockbox
   $ mkdir build
   $ cd build

3. Make sure you have mips/m68k/arm-elf-gcc and siblings in the PATH. Make sure
   that you have 'perl' in your PATH too. Your gcc cross compiler needs to be
   a particular version depending on what player you are compiling for. These
   can be generated using the rockboxdev.sh script in the /tools/ folder of the
   source.

   $ which arm-elf-eabi-gcc
   $ which perl

4. In your build directory, run the 'tools/configure' script and enter what
   target you want to build for and if you want a debug version or not (and a
   few more questions). It'll prompt you. The debug version is for making a
   gdb version out of it. It is only useful if you run gdb towards your target
   Archos.

   $ ../tools/configure

5. *ploink*. Now you have got a Makefile generated for you.

6. Run 'make' and soon the necessary pieces from the firmware and the apps
   directories have been compiled, linked and scrambled for you.

   $ make
   $ make zip

7. unzip the rockbox.zip on your music player, reboot it and
   *smile*.

If you want to build for more than one target, just create several build
directories and create a setup for each target:

   $ mkdir build-fuzeplus
   $ cd build-fuzeplus
   $ ../tools/configure

   $ mkdir build-xduoox3
   $ cd build-xduoox3
   $ ../tools/configure
