 - 
 - Decoders are configured elements in Libav which allow the decoding of
 - multimedia streams.
 - 
 - When you configure your Libav build, all the supported native decoders
 - are enabled by default. Decoders requiring an external library must be enabled
 - manually via the corresponding @code{--enable-lib} option. You can list all
 - available decoders using the configure option @code{--list-decoders}.
 - 
 - You can disable all the decoders with the configure option
 - @code{--disable-decoders} and selectively enable / disable single decoders
 - with the options @code{--enable-decoder=@var{DECODER}} /
 - @code{--disable-decoder=@var{DECODER}}.
 - 
 - The option @code{-decoders} of the av* tools will display the list of
 - enabled decoders.

 - @chapter Audio Decoders
 - @c man begin AUDIO DECODERS
 - 
 - A description of some of the currently available audio decoders
 - follows.
 - 
 - @section ac3
 - 
 - AC-3 audio decoder.
 - 
 - This decoder implements part of ATSC A/52:2010 and ETSI TS 102 366, as well as
 - the undocumented RealAudio 3 (a.k.a. dnet).
 - 
 - @subsection AC-3 Decoder Options
 - 
 - @table @option
 - 
 - @item -drc_scale @var{value}
 - Dynamic Range Scale Factor. The factor to apply to dynamic range values
 - from the AC-3 stream. This factor is applied exponentially.
 - There are 3 notable scale factor ranges:
 - @table @option
 - @item drc_scale == 0
 - DRC disabled. Produces full range audio.
 - @item 0 < drc_scale <= 1
 - DRC enabled.  Applies a fraction of the stream DRC value.
 - Audio reproduction is between full range and full compression.
 - @item drc_scale > 1
 - DRC enabled. Applies drc_scale asymmetrically.
 - Loud sounds are fully compressed.  Soft sounds are enhanced.
