Each video element has one thread. This thread, called the Decode thread,
owns the resources for downloading and reading the video file. It goes through the
file, decoding the theora and vorbis data. It uses Oggplay to do the decoding.
It indirectly uses an nsMediaStream to do the file reading and seeking via Oggplay.
All file reads and seeks must occur on this thread only. It handles the sending
of the audio data to the sound device and the presentation of the video data
at the correct frame rate.
    
When the decode thread is created an event is dispatched to it. The event
runs for the lifetime of the playback of the resource. The decode thread
synchronises with the main thread via a single monitor held by the 
nsOggDecoder object.

The event contains a Run method which consists of an infinite loop
that checks the state that the state machine is in and processes
operations on that state.

The nsOggDecodeStateMachine class is the event that gets dispatched to
the decode thread. It has the following states:

DECODING_METADATA
  The Ogg headers are being loaded, and things like framerate, etc are
  being decoded.  
DECODING_FIRSTFRAME
  The first frame of audio/video data is being decoded.
DECODING
  Video/Audio frames are being decoded.
SEEKING
  A seek operation is in progress.
BUFFERING
  Decoding is paused while data is buffered for smooth playback.
COMPLETED
  The resource has completed decoding. 
SHUTDOWN
  The decoder object is about to be destroyed.

The following result in state transitions.

Shutdown()
  Clean up any resources the nsOggDecodeStateMachine owns.
Decode()
  Start decoding video frames.
Buffer
  This is not user initiated. It occurs when the
  available data in the stream drops below a certain point.
Complete
  This is not user initiated. It occurs when the
  stream is completely decoded.
Seek(float)
  Seek to the time position given in the resource.

The Main thread controls the decode state machine by setting the value
of a mPlayState variable and notifying on the monitor
based on the high level player actions required (Seek, Pause, Play, etc).

The player states are the states requested by the client through the
DOM API.  They represent the desired state of the player, while the
decoder's state represents the actual state of the decoder.

The high level state of the player is maintained via a PlayState value. 
It can have the following states:

START
  The decoder has been initialized but has no resource loaded.
PAUSED
  A request via the API has been received to pause playback.
LOADING
  A request via the API has been received to load a resource.
PLAYING
  A request via the API has been received to start playback.
SEEKING
  A request via the API has been received to start seeking.
COMPLETED
  Playback has completed.
SHUTDOWN
  The decoder is about to be destroyed.

State transition occurs when the Media Element calls the Play, Seek,
etc methods on the nsOggDecoder object. When the transition occurs
nsOggDecoder then calls the methods on the decoder state machine
object to cause it to behave appropriate to the play state.

The following represents the states that the player can be in, and the
valid states the decode thread can be in at that time:

player LOADING   decoder DECODING_METADATA, DECODING_FIRSTFRAME
player PLAYING   decoder DECODING, BUFFERING, SEEKING, COMPLETED
player PAUSED    decoder DECODING, BUFFERING, SEEKING, COMPLETED
player SEEKING   decoder SEEKING
player COMPLETED decoder SHUTDOWN
player SHUTDOWN  decoder SHUTDOWN

The general sequence of events with these objects is:

1) The video element calls Load on nsMediaDecoder. This creates the
   decode thread and starts the channel for downloading the file. It
   instantiates and starts the Decode state machine. The high level
   LOADING state is entered, which results in the decode state machine
   to start decoding metadata. These are the headers that give the
   video size, framerate, etc.  It returns immediately to the calling
   video element.

2) When the Ogg metadata has been loaded by the decode thread it will
   call a method on the video element object to inform it that this
   step is done, so it can do the things required by the video
   specification at this stage. The decoder then continues to decode
   the first frame of data.

3) When the first frame of Ogg data has been successfully decoded it
   calls a method on the video element object to inform it that this
   step has been done, once again so it can do the required things by
   the video specification at this stage.

   This results in the high level state changing to PLAYING or PAUSED
   depending on any user action that may have occurred.

   The decode thread, while in the DECODING state, plays audio and
   video, if the correct frame time comes around and the decoder
   play state is PLAYING.
   
a/v synchronisation is done by a combination of liboggplay and the
Decoder state machine. liboggplay ensures that a decoded frame of data
has both the audio samples and the YUV data for that period of time.

When a frame is decoded by the decode state machine it converts the
YUV encoded video to RGB and copies the sound data to an internal
FrameData object. This is stored in a queue of available decoded frames.
Included in the FrameData object is the time that that frame should
be displayed.

The display state machine keeps track of the time since the last frame it
played. After decoding a frame it checks if it is time to display the next
item in the decoded frame queue. If so, it pops the item off the queue
and displays it.

Ideally a/v sync would take into account the actual audio clock of the
audio hardware for the sync rather than using the system clock.
Unfortunately getting valid time data out of the audio hardware has proven
to be unreliable across platforms (and even distributions in Linux) depending
on audio hardware, audio backend etc. The current approach works fine in practice
and is a compromise until this issue can be sorted. The plan is to eventually
move to synchronising using the audio hardware.

To prevent audio skipping and framerate dropping it is very important to
make sure no blocking occurs during the decoding process and minimise
expensive time operations at the time a frame is to be displayed. This is
managed by immediately converting video data to RGB on decode (an expensive
operation to do at frame display time) and checking if the sound device will
not block before writing sound data to it.

Shutdown needs to ensure that the event posted to the decode
thread is completed. The decode thread can potentially block internally
inside liboggplay when reading, seeking, or its internal buffers containing
decoded data are full. When blocked in this manner a call from the main thread
to Shutdown() will hang.  

This is fixed with a protocol to ensure that the decode event cleanly
completes. The nsMediaStream that the nsChannelReader uses has a
Cancel() method. Calling this before Shutdown() will close any
internal streams or listeners resulting in blocked i/o completing with
an error, and all future i/o on the stream having an error.

This causes the decode thread to exit and Shutdown() can occur.

If the decode thread is seeking then the same Cancel() operation
causes an error to be returned from the seek call to liboggplay which
exits out of the seek operation, and stops the seek state running on the
decode thread.

If the decode thread is blocked due to internal decode buffers being
full, it is unblocked during the shutdown process by calling
oggplay_prepare_for_close.

In practice the OggPlay internal buffer should never fill as we retrieve and
process the frame immediately on decoding.

The Shutdown method on nsOggDecoder can spin the event loop as it waits
for threads to complete. Spinning the event loop is a bad thing to happen
during certain times like destruction of the media element. To work around
this the Shutdown method does nothing by queue an event to the main thread
to perform the actual Shutdown. This way the shutdown can occur at a safe
time. 

This means the owning object of a nsOggDecoder object *MUST* call Shutdown
when destroying the nsOggDecoder object.
