[vlc-devel] [PATCH v2] input/input: fix `input-slave` option for spus

[Alaric Senat]

Since c34d719f, all files passed by the option `input-slave` were set as
audio tracks no matter what.
This commit attempts to deduce the `input-slave` type with its file
extension and falls back to spu in case of failure.

Fixes #25549
