Use of Sample objects was inefficient for several reasons: - Lots of objects (1 per sample, obviously). - When switching up bitrates, there was a tendency for all Sample instances to need to expand, which effectively led to our whole media buffer being GC'd as each Sample discarded its byte[] to obtain a larger one. - When a keyframe was encountered, the Sample would typically need to expand to accommodate it. Over time, this would lead to a gradual increase in the population of Samples that were sized to accommodate keyframes. These Sample instances were then typically underutilized whenever recycled to hold a non-keyframe, leading to inefficient memory usage. This CL introduces RollingBuffer, which tightly packs pending sample data into a byte[]s obtained from an underlying BufferPool. Which fixes all of the above. There is still an issue where the total memory allocation may grow when switching up bitrate, but we can easily fix that from this point, if we choose to restrict the buffer based on allocation size rather than time.
