[vlc-devel] [PATCH 4/4] RFC: aout: pulse: handle discontinuity

[Thomas Guillem]

No sure if really needed, since there is only one audio codec module that pass
the discontinuity flag: the faad module.

On other cases, a flush will always predate a discontinuity and this code path
won't be triggered.
