Here is a new patch+rfc to only change the audio decoding to behave like
video decoding.

- adds nb_sample to AVFrame
- adapts get/reget_buffer to support video or audio media types
- example implementation for pcm decoder

Once this part is reviewed and agreed upon, I'll work on the user-side
usage of avcodec_decode_audio4() and the tedious work of changing all
the audio decoders to the new API.

Planar audio would definitely be nice to add later, but I'm not sure how
to go about it. maybe something like...

- a new AVFrame field **audio_data
- allocate channel pointers and data for each channel in get_buffer()
- add planer sample formats and support in conversion function/filter
    - might allow moving float_to_int16_interleave() to avfilter?

Cheers,
Justin
