// The avrt namespace encapsulates the details needed to support MMCSS.
//
// The Multimedia Class Scheduler service (MMCSS) enables multimedia
// applications to ensure that their time-sensitive processing receives
// prioritized access to CPU resources. This service enables multimedia
// applications to utilize as much of the CPU as possible without denying
// CPU resources to lower-priority applications.
// MMCSS requires Windows Vista or higher and that the Avrt DLL is loaded.
//
// TODO(henrika): refactor and merge into existing thread implementation
// for Windows to ensure that MMCSS can be enabled for all threads.
