[media] doc-rst: mention the memory type to be set for all streaming I/O
Changeset 8c9f46095176 ("[media] DocBook: mention the memory type to
be set for all streaming I/O") updated the media DocBook to mention
the need of filling the memory types. We need to keep the ReST
doc updated to such change.
