FLAC__fixed_compute_residual() has the following code:

#if 1 /* OPT: may be faster with some compilers on some systems */
	residual[i] = data[i] - (data[i-1] << 1) + data[i-2];
#else
	residual[i] = data[i] - 2*data[i-1] + data[i-2];
#endif

So I thought that adding a different algorithm to calculate err1
variable won't hurt.

...I just noticed that I forgot to write something explanatory
after "[PATCH 2/4]" in the subject of the original message.
