I did not remove aout_IsEmpty().

And even if we still had it, DecoderIsEmpty() should test decoder...
That's not the case for vout (and that's probably another issue) and
wasn't the case for aout.
Today's aout only tests draining (EOF) which is wrong and broke menus.

Unless we have proper aout_IsEmpty(), assuming the audio is in sync with
video, is to consider audio as always empty, or at least, test if
decoder has finished its job (what this patch does).
