// The main purpose of Blocker is to abstract away the fact that often we
// receive a different number of audio frames than our transform takes. For
// example, most FFTs work best when the fft-size is a power of 2, but suppose
// we receive 20ms of audio at a sample rate of 48000. That comes to 960 frames
// of audio, which is not a power of 2. Blocker allows us to specify the
// transform and all other necessary processing via the Process() callback
// function without any constraints on the transform-size
// (read: |block_size_|) or received-audio-size (read: |chunk_size_|).
// We handle this for the multichannel audio case, allowing for different
// numbers of input and output channels (for example, beamforming takes 2 or
// more input channels and returns 1 output channel). Audio signals are
// represented as deinterleaved floats in the range [-1, 1].
//
// Blocker is responsible for:
// - blocking audio while handling potential discontinuities on the edges
//   of chunks
// - windowing blocks before sending them to Process()
// - windowing processed blocks, and overlap-adding them together before
//   sending back a processed chunk
//
// To use blocker:
// 1. Impelment a BlockerCallback object |bc|.
// 2. Instantiate a Blocker object |b|, passing in |bc|.
// 3. As you receive audio, call b.ProcessChunk() to get processed audio.
//
// A small amount of delay is added to the first received chunk to deal with
// the difference in chunk/block sizes. This delay is <= chunk_size.
//
// Ownership of window is retained by the caller.  That is, Blocker makes a
// copy of window and does not attempt to delete it.
