The Chromium implementation unfortunately has a rare deadlock. Rather than patching that up, we're changing the metronome implementation to be able to use a single-threaded environment instead. The metronome functionality is disabled in VideoReceiveStream2 construction inside call.cc. The new design does not have listener registration or deresigstration and instead accepts and invokes callbacks, on the same sequence that requested the callback. This allows the clients to use features such as WeakPtrFactories or ScopedThreadSafety for cancellation. The CL will be followed up with cleanup CLs that removes registration APIs once downstream consumers have adapted.

How to write code in the api/ directory
Mostly, just follow the regular style guide, but:
- Note that
api/code is not exempt from the “.hand.ccfiles come in pairs” rule, so if you declare something inapi/path/to/foo.h, it should be defined inapi/path/to/foo.cc. - Headers in
api/should, if possible, not#includeheaders outsideapi/. It’s not always possible to avoid this, but be aware that it adds to a small mountain of technical debt that we’re trying to shrink. .ccfiles inapi/, on the other hand, are free to#includeheaders outsideapi/.
That is, the preferred way for api/ code to access non-api/ code is to call
it from a .cc file, so that users of our API headers won’t transitively
#include non-public headers.
For headers in api/ that need to refer to non-public types, forward
declarations are often a lesser evil than including non-public header files. The
usual rules still apply, though.
.cc files in api/ should preferably be kept reasonably small. If a
substantial implementation is needed, consider putting it with our non-public
code, and just call it from the api/ .cc file.
