[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] lavc/audiodsp: fix aliasing violation

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

Even though they have the same size, and typically the same alignment,
uint32_t and float are under no circumstances compatible types in C.

The casts from float * to uint32_t * are invalid here. Insofar as the
resulting pointers are dereferenced, this is undefined behaviour.
This patch uses av_float2int() / av_int2float() instead.
