'Shorten' audio file fails to decode

When playing a Shorten sample file, VLC forwards the bitstream to avcodec but fails to render the audio.

shorten is exp golomb compressed AIFF or WAV file.

avformat does demux it as shorten codec es. It does nothing. Seems weird, but it is just a passthrough to shorten decoder, and has no parameters or timestamps.

Only the decoder has timings and understands the content.

Unless we can write a proper shorten demuxer, we'll never be able to play those files.
