Currently, the amount of padding inserted at the beginning by some audio
encoders, is exported through AVCodecContext.delay. However
- the term 'delay' is heavily overloaded and can have multiple different
meanings even in the case of audio encoding.
- this field has entirely different meanings, depending on whether the
codec context is used for encoding or decoding (and has yet another
different meaning for video), preventing generic handling of the codec
context.
Therefore, add a new field -- AVCodecContext.initial_padding. It could
conceivably be used for decoding as well at a later point.
Discontinuous transmission is an addition to VAD/VBR operation, that
allows to greatly reduce bitrate for silent chunks or stationary
noises.

Speex detects non-speech periods and encodes them with just enough bits
to reproduce the background noise, aka ``comfort noise generation''.

Also break some long lines, remove codec function placeholder comments
and add spaces in sample/pixel format lists.
