Consider the following situation when #l835 is reached:
1. We stop decoding audio for we have ample samples in the audio queue.
2. Video decoding reaches the end for OnNotDecoded() is invoked with |aType == MediaData::VIDEO_DATA|

We will not schedule next cycle because decoding is not complete and get stuck in buffering state forever.

We should always schedule next cycle even if decode is not complete so we have a chance to leave buffering state.
Btw, this bug is manifested by bug 1242783 which somewhat changes the amount of audio buffering and decode timing. We need also uplift the fix to 46.

Feels like a hacky fix, but at least it's a fix.

We don't want people's videos to be stuck, let's try uplift to beta 5.
