vlc error - possible fix

[Damian Ivereigh]

I have seen that too. I have tracked it down to some un-initialised
memory in ac3_bit_allocate.c after a new decoder thread is created

This patch initialises the malloced memory to zero (and the same in
ac3_spdif & audio_decoder - I don't know if this is necessary) and seems
to fix it on one particular DVD I have.

Apply it your code and see if it helps.
