// Some notes on the prerequisites of the TemporalLayers interface.
// * Vp8FrameBufferController is not thread safe, synchronization is the
//   caller's responsibility.
// * The encoder is assumed to encode all frames in order, and callbacks to
//   PopulateCodecSpecific() / OnEncodeDone() must happen in the same order.
//
// This means that in the case of pipelining encoders, it is OK to have a chain
// of calls such as this:
// - NextFrameConfig(timestampA)
// - NextFrameConfig(timestampB)
// - PopulateCodecSpecific(timestampA, ...)
// - NextFrameConfig(timestampC)
// - OnEncodeDone(timestampA, 1234, ...)
// - NextFrameConfig(timestampC)
// - OnEncodeDone(timestampB, 0, ...)
// - OnEncodeDone(timestampC, 1234, ...)
// Note that NextFrameConfig() for a new frame can happen before
// OnEncodeDone() for a previous one, but calls themselves must be both
// synchronized (e.g. run on a task queue) and in order (per type).
//
// TODO(eladalon): Revise comment (referring to PopulateCodecSpecific in this
// context is not very meaningful).
