Just to clarify my intentions with my patches: We are using libvlc for
audio streaming in Tomahawk on Android. We do not need any video related
stuff at the moment. As 12-14MB is a substantial increase in size by
adding libvlc to our app, I want to strip unnecessary parts out of
libvlcjni.so. And yes, I'm aware that I might break things in libvlc by
stripping out things that might be needed for audio, even if they might
make the impression being for video only ;)
