/*
 * MetadataBufferType defines the type of the metadata buffers that
 * can be passed to video encoder component for encoding, via Stagefright
 * media recording framework. To see how to work with the metadata buffers
 * in media recording framework, please consult HardwareAPI.h
 *
 * The creator of metadata buffers and video encoder share common knowledge
 * on what is actually being stored in these metadata buffers, and
 * how the information can be used by the video encoder component
 * to locate the actual pixel data as the source input for video
 * encoder, plus whatever other information that is necessary. Stagefright
 * media recording framework does not need to know anything specific about the
 * metadata buffers, except for receving each individual metadata buffer
 * as the source input, making a copy of the metadata buffer, and passing the
 * copy via OpenMAX API to the video encoder component.
 *
 * The creator of the metadata buffers must ensure that the first
 * 4 bytes in every metadata buffer indicates its buffer type,
 * and the rest of the metadata buffer contains the
 * actual metadata information. When a video encoder component receives
 * a metadata buffer, it uses the first 4 bytes in that buffer to find
 * out the type of the metadata buffer, and takes action appropriate
 * to that type of metadata buffers (for instance, locate the actual
 * pixel data input and then encoding the input data to produce a
 * compressed output buffer).
 *
 * The following shows the layout of a metadata buffer,
 * where buffer type is a 4-byte field of MetadataBufferType,
 * and the payload is the metadata information.
 *
 * --------------------------------------------------------------
 * |  buffer type  |          payload                           |
 * --------------------------------------------------------------
