 sam explained me how the decoder / downmix / aout were organized and,
if I got it right, this would imply moving the downmixing in the aout.

 Is that what you meant ?

 sam also told me that the audio_output was aware of the currently used
decoders, and I could organize successive calls to reach the part where
I have to alter the data.

 The first solution seems clearer to me but also seems to be a big
modfication of the actual structure.

 The new audio output would then do this, after it is spawned :
1/ get stream information
2/ find an appropriated decoder
while there's data in the fifo
	1/ decode with the decoder
	2/ adjust gain
	3/ downmix
	4/ send to specific aout (like dsp)
endwhile

 This would require to :
- move the downmix
- have multi-channels fifos

 I hope I understood it correctly.
