Let me try to make this more clear: scale/bias is _required_ to avoid a (on some hardware massive, IIRC > 50%) performance regression for the float->int16 conversion if the decoders output native float.
That is very unlikely to be accepted by FFmpeg developers.
Selectable codec output format (either at run- or compiletime) might be accepted, but it is not an ideal solution (more a quick hack) and is likely to be treated as such during review.
