Description: Fix audio synchro
With some audio plugins, the audio stream is late because of buffer
When the vlc is launched without a stream, the audio_output thread
eats all memory, probably because there is no msleep() when no data
is available in the audio_output queue.

Some plugins may have their place inside the main program, such as the
dummy plugin, or the beos plugin under BeOS. We should allow to link
