Merge remote-tracking branch 'newdev/master'
* newdev/master: mov: set audio service type for AC-3 from bitstream mode in the 'dac3' atom. Get audio_service_type for AC-3 based on bitstream mode in the AC-3 parser and decoder, and vice-versa for the AC-3 encoder. Use audio_service_type to set stream disposition. Add APIchanges entry for audio_service_type. Add audio_service_type field to AVCodecContext for encoding and reporting of the service type in the audio bitstream. configure: in check_ld, place new -l flags before existing ones support @heading, @subheading, @subsubheading, and @subsubsection in texi2pod.pl doc: update build system documentation aacenc: indentation aacenc: fix the side calculation in search_for_ms vp8.c: rename EDGE_* to VP8_EDGE_*.

+FATE Automated Testing Environment
+
+FATE provides a regression testsuite that can be run locally or configured
+to send reports to fate.ffmpeg.org.
+In order to run, it needs a large amount of data (samples and references)
+that is provided separately from the actual source distribution.
+
+Use the following command to get the fate test samples
+
+# rsync -aL rsync://rsync.mplayerhq.hu:/samples/fate-suite/ fate/fate-suite
+
+To inform the build system about the testsuite location, pass
+`--samples=<path to the samples>` to configure or set the SAMPLES Make
+variable or the FATE_SAMPLES environment variable to a suitable value.
+
+For information on how to set up FATE to send results to the official FFmpeg
+testing framework, please refer to the following wiki page:
+http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=FATE
+
+FATE Makefile targets:
+
+fate-list
+ Will list all fate/regression test targets.
+
+fate
+ Run the FATE test suite (requires the fate-suite dataset).
+
+Fate Makefile variables:
+
+V
+ Verbosity level, can be set to 0, 1 or 2.
+ * 0: show just the test arguments
+ * 1: show just the command used in the test
+ * 2: show everything
+
+SAMPLES
+ Specify or override the path to the FATE samples at make time, it has a
+ meaning only while running the regression tests.
+
+THREADS
+ Specify how many threads to use while running regression tests, it is
+ quite useful to detect thread-related regressions.
+
+Example:
+ make V=1 SAMPLES=/var/fate/samples THREADS=2 fate
