Well these calls are supposed to return something - but it's not garanteed
what it will be - i.e. for codecs it might happen I'll replace long
names with short mplayer compatible codec descriptions.
Morever AUDIO_CODECS string is just a hint string for sorting
(so I'll actually probably provide backward compatible sorting method
if I'll eventually switch to shorter names)
It doesn't have to contain all available codecs (video_codes & audio_codecs
vectort have them - though I do not like that those globals
variables the change of this would require change of every app using
libavifile) - i.e. you could put there just FFMPEG and it will
put all FFMPEG codecs ahead of others...
For Audio Renderer & Video renderer the names will not be changed
but agains - these string are just preferencies hints and do not
respect what is compiled/supported by libaviplay library.
