We can warranty that these devices have buggy decoders, but we can't warranty
that all the AACDecoder or MP3Decoder are buggy.

In our Fluendo branch we can blacklist them as we have AAC and MP3 decoders and
but we don't have access to all the android devices in the market. We prefer
using software decoders for audio when we find a buggy decoder in one device,
rather than risking to have the same bug in more devices.

If decoders with the same name are known to work in other devices, the
blacklist should be device specific, but how ?

It's more likely that the bugs are in the amcaudiodec implementation rather
than in the device but it's hard to debug with a black box.
