From MainLoop() for example?

It's the place which runs the demuxer so eof check could move from each
demuxer to here, but i'm not sure how to notify decoder thread without
using es_out_Send()

IMO using es_out_Send(... NULL) looks simple (not too much changes) but
I'll look into these files to see if I can come up with something else
