/*
Each video element for a media file has two additional threads beyond
those needed by nsBuiltinDecoder.

  1) The Audio thread writes the decoded audio data to the audio
     hardware.  This is done in a seperate thread to ensure that the
     audio hardware gets a constant stream of data without
     interruption due to decoding or display. At some point
     libsydneyaudio will be refactored to have a callback interface
     where it asks for data and an extra thread will no longer be
     needed.

  2) The decode thread. This thread reads from the media stream and
     decodes the Theora and Vorbis data. It places the decoded data in
     a queue for the other threads to pull from.

All file reads and seeks must occur on either the state machine thread
or the decode thread. Synchronisation is done via a monitor owned by
nsBuiltinDecoder.

The decode thread and the audio thread are created and destroyed in
the state machine thread. When playback needs to occur they are
created and events dispatched to them to start them. These events exit
when decoding is completed or no longer required (during seeking or
shutdown).
    
The decode thread has its own monitor to ensure that its internal
state is independent of the other threads, and to ensure that it's not
hogging the nsBuiltinDecoder monitor while decoding.

a/v synchronisation is handled by the state machine thread. It
examines the audio playback time and compares this to the next frame
in the queue of frames. If it is time to play the video frame it is
then displayed.

Frame skipping is done in the following ways:

  1) The state machine thread will skip all frames in the video queue whose
     display time is less than the current audio time. This ensures
     the correct frame for the current time is always displayed.

  2) The decode thread will stop decoding interframes and read to the
     next keyframe if it determines that decoding the remaining
     interframes will cause playback issues. It detects this by:
       a) If the amount of audio data in the audio queue drops
          below a threshold whereby audio may start to skip.
       b) If the video queue drops below a threshold where it
          will be decoding video data that won't be displayed due
          to the decode thread dropping the frame immediately.

YCbCr conversion is done on the decode thread when it is time to display
the video frame. This means frames that are skipped will not have the
YCbCr conversion done, improving playback.

The decode thread pushes decoded audio and videos frames into two
separate queues - one for audio and one for video. These are kept
separate to make it easy to constantly feed audio data to the sound
hardware while allowing frame skipping of video data. These queues are
threadsafe, and neither the decode, audio, or state machine thread should
be able to monopolize them, and cause starvation of the other threads.

Both queues are bounded by a maximum size. When this size is reached
the decode thread will no longer decode video or audio depending on the
queue that has reached the threshold.

During playback the audio thread will be idle (via a Wait() on the
monitor) if the audio queue is empty. Otherwise it constantly pops an
item off the queue and plays it with a blocking write to the audio
hardware (via nsAudioStream and libsydneyaudio).

The decode thread idles if the video queue is empty or if it is
not yet time to display the next frame.

  The playback state machine class. This manages the decoding in the
  nsBuiltinDecoderReader on the decode thread, seeking and in-sync-playback on the
  state machine thread, and controls the audio "push" thread.

  All internal state is synchronised via the decoder monitor. NotifyAll
  on the monitor is called when the state of the state machine is changed
  by the main thread. The following changes to state cause a notify:

    mState and data related to that state changed (mSeekTime, etc)
    Metadata Loaded
    First Frame Loaded
    Frame decoded
    data pushed or popped from the video and audio queues

  See nsBuiltinDecoder.h for more details.
