Yes that's doable. But if we want to not rely on the decoders being
clean (which is probably what we want) we want to do it for all the
part of the code that load a decoder module. If we want to avoid
duplicate code that means a new API entry in vlccore
(decoder_LoadModule).

I am preparing a patch with this.
