Basic info

Bug description

This is not exactly that radically audible but it is still quite peculiar. This is also present with BASOP encoded bitstream. There is quite a bit of MLD score (over 16) for this but part of that might be explained by rate switching as well.

Ways to reproduce

Use following command lines to replicate with rate switching file mcmasa_7_1_4_techs_start_13k2_20frames.bin
