// provide timestamps, which comes from the capturing hardware (camera or sound
// card) or stamped close to the capturing hardware. Such timestamps are more
// accurate (less jittery) than reading the system clock, but may have a
// different epoch and unknown clock drift. Frame timestamps in webrtc should
// use rtc::TimeMicros (system monotonic time), and this class provides a filter
// which lets us use the rtc::TimeMicros timescale, and at the same time take
// advantage of higher accuracy of the capturer's clock.

// This class is not thread safe, so all calls to it must be synchronized
