First, I am working on a build with NEON, which last time I checked
the emulator can't run.
Next, the DCA decoder is not bit-exact, so this checking would be
a bit of a pain.
And also running it on the phone is actually easier than running on
the emulator.
The bigger issue is that gdbserver seems unusable because it causes
every attempt by ffmpeg to print something to raise a SIGTTOU.
I'd prefer it by far for someone else to test it, but if not I'll
probably try to run the tests on a BeagleBoard - which should be
fine for this, but the lack of actually working GLES drivers make
it useless for anything else I want to do. What a mess.
