Neither of the latter two flags is used.  Are you sure they're worth including
at this point?

Removed.

Actually, instead of feeding in a dummy size, how about dropping the param here
and using the dummy value (16x16 or somesuch only in bridge.cc)?

[Ami GONE FROM CHROMIUM, 2013/02/05 20:24:33]

My point was that this would be better named Reset() to match other media::
code.

Ah, I am poor at getting the real meaning of the sentence. Will fix.

Done.

Why does GIB() still make sense as an API?  Wouldn't it make sense to combine
that and this into a single method?
(and, in fact, since the only flag you use is EOS, could drop the magical value
of 0-size buffers and replace with a
bool EnqueueEOS();

[dwkang1, 2013/02/07 14:01:36]

I don't think so. we can just call GIB() once after Start(). We don't need to
call GIB() every time we feed input data.
Maybe, are you talking about combining PTIB() and QIB()?
