NEWS: announce that the infamous audio output failure on TASCAM's USD-based MIDI-interfaces is fixed

When vlc_poll is called with timeout of i.e. 5000ms it may happen that the
waiting time might be as long as 2500s ! Probably poll should be called with
the 50ms timeout as many times until the original provided timeout has been
reached.

It doesn't make any sense for audio decoders and only leads to
extra log warnings.

This reverts commit c73e88ce.

The WMV1/2 decoders use a different role name, and this parameter
is unsupported on them. Therefore, there's not much use in trying to
set it at all.

The role name without a suffix, "video_decoder.wmv", is only for
vc1/wmv3/9 (on Samsung Galaxy S III at least). Since certain roles
are substrings of others, require the full string to match when looking
for suitable codecs instead of using strncmp.

Previously, we tried to see if the samsung decoder name followed
a certain pattern (ending .Decoder, for good decoders, assuming
we should ignore the padding specified by all other samsung
decoders). This simple pattern didn't turn out to apply for some
other deocders, so instead explicitly list the components that
we know we should ignore the specified padding values.

Also refactor the same check from both the omxil and mediacodec
files into one utility function.

This is required to use the OMX.google.* sw decoder components
(which are useful for testing).

Only do this workaround on android builds for now, to limit the
scope of the hack.

At startup of the decoder, i_channels might be set to 0 if the decoder
hasn't processed the sent CODECCONFIG data yet. (In these cases, the
returned buffers are 0 bytes long so we don't miss anything either.)
A port reconfigure event is sent in these cases, so i_channels gets
initialized to the right value before we handle any later buffers with
actual content.

It's mostly enough to call it on the input port, while we later get
back what the decoder itself set on the output port (based on the
input port and codec config data), so if this fails, just ignore it.

This is required for using google SW audio codecs via OMX, which is
useful mostly for testing. (Using them still requires a few more
hacks though.)

This does work with the Samsung AAC decoder (which seems to support
both), while the google SW AAC decoder doesn't support the previous
value (but works fine with this one).

As far as I can read the specs, the two formats are identical (one
is defined as "AAC inside MPEG-4/ISO File Format" while the other
one is defined as "AAC Raw Format (access units)").

The Android media stack seems to be using this one internally
(with a bunch of references to this one, and no references to the
RAW one), which is a good indication that at least most android
AAC decoders should be able to handle it.

This doesn't seem to have any effect in practice, but it does make
the code more correct.

The dummy support patch also fix #5287.

We don't display both sliders at once anyway.

Never more than one piece of text is displayed at a time anyway.
Also simplify format string handling and use single precision maths.
