note, this does **not** affect cat-based module selection items
(of which there are just three in use by the core), since that
mechanism uses subcats not cats.
Do not declare *_sys_t typedefs globally in vlc_common.h. Instead,
declare them locally in each module that provides a definition.
This paves the way to move C++ definitions into anonymous namespaces in
order to respect C++ ODR.
The picture_resource_t and sout_stream_id_sys_t typedefs will be handled
separately, since they require specific additional changes.

A combined access-demux cannot be instantiated without an ES output.
This checks that the ES output is present, avoiding crashes for
instance with vlc_stream_NewURL().
Rename i_original_channels to i_chan_mode. For now, chan modes can be
DOLBYSTEREO or DUALMONO.
This new value, i_chan_mode, should only be set by demuxes/codecs/packetizers
if there is a special stereo mode to handle.
Re-license almost all the playback modules to LGPLv2.1+ with
authorization from their respective contributors (230+)
This includes:
- access, codec, packetizers, demux
- audio filters, audio mixers, audio output
- video filters, video chroma, video output
- text renderers
- XML parser
- ARM NEON and SSE2 optimisations (mostly for chromas and filters)
Some modules are not concerned:
- BDA and DShow access modules because Manol Manolov is AWOL
- Real RTSP, because it is derived from Xine
- x264 and t140 because they are encoders only
- DLL Loader, because it is derived from MPlayer
- DTS packetizer, because Jon Lech Johansen is AWOL
- Shine and WMAfixed, because they are derived from Rockbox
- Real demuxer, as it is derived from MPlayer and Wang Bo is AWOL
- MPC demuxer, as Yavor Doganov is AWOL
- Tivo demuxer, because it is derived from an MPlayer fork
- Playlist demuxer, (WPL and ZPL parts missing), because suheaven is AWOL
- iOS audio output and video display, because author refuses the license change
- Equalizer and compressor, because Ronald Wright is AWOL
- Mono, Headphone and Dolby, because author refuses the license change
- hqdn3d and yadif, because they are from MPlayer/libavfilter
- remoteosd, because it derives from RealVNC code
- MMX optimisations, because Ollie Lho, from SiS, is AWOL
- Rotate, because it depends on GPL motion
Nota Bene:
- Some modules depend on GPL-only libraries, a LGPL module does not mean
that the resulting binary module will be LGPL.
Libraries affected would include liba52, libdvdcss, libdvdnav, libdvdread,
faad2, libdca, libmad, libmpeg2, libpostproc, SRC, sid, zvbi and probably others.
Without this flag, PulseAudio will tweak the buffer parameters, but
will not account for hardware latencies. As a consequence, the live
caching parameter is not really followed - the latency is longer.
Longer latency becomes a big problem when trying to synch with another
live source (such as a V4L2 video capture device). Then audio is too
late and gets discarded or messed up at output.
Since VLC allows the input format to differ from the requested one, it
needs to recompute the buffer attributes after the stream is connected.
Otherwise, we would get different timing than intended.
