If WMF isn't available and we try to play ClearKey content, we're supposed to be able to use Adobe's GMP for decoding the content decrypted by gmp-clearkey. That's not working, because the Adobe audio decoder is throwing a kCryptoErr when the first decrypted audio packet is input.

This is because after the EMEDecryptor uses gmp-clearkey to decrypt the audio packet, the MediaRawData that it passes into GMPAudioDecoder to decode via the unencrypted decoding path with Adobe's GMP has it's crypto data still valid, even though the sample is now no longer encrypted. This leads the Adobe GMP to think it's encrypted, and it throws an error.

STR:
1. Open mse-clearkey on Windows N/KN or other Windows without WMF.
2. Observe playback error

Expected result:
mse-clearkey plays Sintel trailer.
The Adobe GMP unencrypted decoder can't decode unencrypted input which has
valid crypto data attached; it thinks the sample is encrypted, and returns a
crypto error and decoding fails. The sample should be decrypted by the time
we pass it to the wrapped decoder, so decoding should succeed without the
crypto data.

Make EMEDecryptor clear decrypted samples' crypto field before passing to wrapped MediaDataDecoder for decoding

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]: EME
[User impact if declined]: Some EME content will fail to play on Windows N and KN and Vista systems which lack system audio decoders
[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: We have lots of EME mochitests
[Risks and why]: Pretty low; basically just clears some unnecessary metadata during our decoding operation.
[String/UUID change made/needed]: none.

Hi Chris, is this also an issue on 46? Just wondering if we need to uplift to Beta 46 or not.

I don't think this is critical enough to require uplift to 46.

Got it. Thanks!
