LAV Video:
-New Worker Thread design for Decoding/Deinterlacing
-WMV9+YADIF is up to 40% faster
-Improved DXVA2 for MPEG-2 interlaced
-Improved H264 DXVA2 on AMD with certain streams
-Improved CUVID support for 4K streams on supported hardware (GT520, GTX680, other VP5 hardware)

LAV Audio:
-Added support for RealAudio Lossless (RALF)

Notes from the author:
This has been cooking for a while, and i think its ready now.

Mostly small bugfixes, and of course the new worker thread in LAV Video. Right now, only the WMV9 decoder really benefits from it, but it was the slowest decoder too.
I hope no problems with the worker thread remain, it should\'ve been thoroughly tested by now.

As a side note, the 301.10 NVIDIA driver seems to have fixed the MPEG4-ASP problems, at least it works on my new GTX680.
Additionally, CUVID should now work with 4K streams on VP5 cards, although its not extremely fast (37-40 fps in my short tests), however DXVA2 seems to still have issues (crashes). I think its driver related.

Just a quick FYI, development might be a bit slower for the next few month, i have another project that needs more attention (completely unrelated to Video things).

Notes:
Down-Mixing:
One of the big new things in this version is of course the new audio downmixing.
In this version, you get the first set of down-mixing functionality, which should probably cover this function for most people.

To use it, basically just enable it and select the target speaker configuration. You can fine-tune some of the other options, but in general it should work just fine with the defaults.

More control over the full matrix will come in a future version (not that soon).
