Validating the libxaac decoder
Conformance testing for AAC/HE-AACv1/HE-AACv2 mainly involves comparing decoder under test output with the ISO and 3GPP reference decoded output.
Testing for USAC is done using encoded streams generated using ISO USAC reference encoder. The output generated by libxaac USAC decoder is compared against the output generated by ISO USAC decoder for 16-bit conformance on the respective(ARMv7, ARMv8, X86_32, X86_64) platforms.
