Subject: ANDROID: Check audio buffer for silence
Most games register a music channel, and when there is no music,
they still stream silence (and run through all the Converter::flow
code!). Scan the buffer for that to pause the AudioTrack. Ugly, but
worth it - reduces CPU usage on many games and hence saves battery life.
