// FFmpegGlue is an interface between FFmpeg and Chrome used to proxy FFmpeg's
// read and seek requests to Chrome's internal data structures.  The glue works
// through the AVIO interface provided by FFmpeg.
//
// AVIO works through a special AVIOContext created through avio_alloc_context()
// which is attached to the AVFormatContext used for demuxing.  The AVIO context
// is initialized with read and seek methods which FFmpeg calls when necessary.
//
// During OpenContext() FFmpegGlue will tell FFmpeg to use Chrome's AVIO context
// by passing NULL in for the filename parameter to avformat_open_input().  All
// FFmpeg operations using the configured AVFormatContext will then redirect
// reads and seeks through the glue.
//
// The glue in turn processes those read and seek requests using the
// FFmpegURLProtocol provided during construction.
//
// FFmpegGlue is also responsible for initializing FFmpeg, which is done once
// per process.  Initialization includes: turning off log messages, registering
// a lock manager, and finally registering all demuxers and codecs.
