// This class provides a way to split a single media source into multiple sources.
// The constructor takes in the real mediaSource and createClient() can then be
// used to create multiple sources served from this real mediaSource.
//
// Usage:
// - Create MediaSourceSplitter by passing in a real mediaSource from which
// multiple duplicate channels are needed.
// - Create a client using createClient() and use it as any other mediaSource.
//
// Note that multiple clients can be created using createClient() and
// started/stopped in any order. MediaSourceSplitter stops the real source only
// when all clients have been stopped.
//
// If a new client is created/started after some existing clients have already
// started, the new client will start getting its read frames from the current
// time.
