[non-BE][split-non-BE] Resolve "Improve stability of decisions in MASA metadata reduction in encoder"
- Related issues: #1493
- Requested reviewers: @vasilache
Reason why this change is needed
- There are metadata encoding differences between Mac and Linux for LTV vector. It would be good to remove these.
Description of the change
- This adds minor non-BE changes that remove the differences between Mac and Linux for metadata (core coding does still produce different bitstream though).
Affected operating points
- This is non-BE for all operating points that uses the related functions (MASA and OMASA in this case). In general, the difference should be inaudible though.
- This is backwards compatible.
- There is a very minor (about 0.004) complexity increase.
