I think what could be done is:
 - add a new input_DecoderEos() function that tells the decoder that it won't
 receive anymore data. It will need to be called from es_out, and I think
 it can simply create a block_t with a special flag (a bit like
 BLOCK_FLAG_CORE_FLUSH.
 - handle this special block in DecoderProcess().

Then, for playback, to be complete aout_DecIsEmpty() would need to be
implemented...
