/* Implementation of a circular buffer of timestamps with overwriting
 * of older values. MediaCodec has only one type of timestamp, if a
 * block has no PTS, we send the DTS instead. Some hardware decoders
 * cannot cope with this situation and output the frames in the wrong
 * order. As a workaround in this case, we use a FIFO of timestamps in
 * order to remember which input packets had no PTS.  Since an
 * hardware decoder can silently drop frames, this might cause a
 * growing desynchronization with the actual timestamp. Thus the
 * circular buffer has a limited size and will overwrite older values.
