Just to keep everyone posted, we are going to deactivate it again as
we essentially broke video playback with this change. There appears to
be a bug in libvlc's video output handling when using a stream output
to duplicate/transcode the pipeline (which is what we do with the
AudioDataOutput). This bug essentially prevents video output detection
*entirely*, which is too big a problem TBH. There is a workaround, but
it is not viable... we could also stream the video data to memory and
iff there is data we were to assume that there is a video (this of
course raises memory consumption and cpu consumption and therefore
overall sluggishness, which is an expense I do not find worthwhile).
