  For supplying media data to the framework. Implement this if your app has
 special requirements for the way media data is obtained.
 
Methods of this interface may be called on multiple different
 threads. There will be a thread synchronization point between each call to ensure that
 modifications to the state of your MediaDataSource are visible to future calls. This means
 you don't need to do your own synchronization unless you're modifying the
 MediaDataSource from another thread while it's being used by the framework.

Public methods
    getSize
    
public abstract long getSize ()
    
    
    
  Called to get the size of the data source.
    
      | Returns | 
      
        long | 
        the size of data source in bytes, or -1 if the size is unknown. | 
      
    
      
  
 
    readAt
    
public abstract int readAt (long position, 
                byte[] buffer, 
                int offset, 
                int size)
    
    
    
  Called to request data from the given position.
 Implementations should fill buffer with up to size
 bytes of data, and return the number of valid bytes in the buffer.
 Return 0 if size is zero (thus no bytes are read).
 Return -1 to indicate that end of stream is reached.
    
    | Parameters | 
      
        position | 
        
          long: the position in the data source to read from. | 
      
      
        buffer | 
        
          byte: the buffer to read the data into. | 
      
      
        offset | 
        
          int: the offset within buffer to read the data into. | 
      
      
        size | 
        
          int: the number of bytes to read. | 
      
    
    
      | Returns | 
      
        int | 
        the number of bytes read, or -1 if end of stream is reached. |
