 // Android specific implementation of VideoCapturer.
 // An instance of this class can be created by an application using
 // VideoCapturerAndroid.create();
 // This class extends VideoCapturer with a method to easily switch between the
 // front and back camera. It also provides methods for enumerating valid device
 // names.
 //
-// Threading notes: this class is called from C++ code, and from Camera
-// Java callbacks.  Since these calls happen on different threads,
-// the entry points to this class are all synchronized.  This shouldn't present
-// a performance bottleneck because only onPreviewFrame() is called more than
-// once (and is called serially on a single thread), so the lock should be
-// uncontended.  Note that each of these synchronized methods must check
-// |camera| for null to account for having possibly waited for stopCapture() to
-// complete.
+// Threading notes: this class is called from C++ code, Android Camera callbacks, and possibly
+// arbitrary Java threads. All public entry points are thread safe, and delegate the work to the
+// camera thread. The internal *OnCameraThread() methods must check |camera| for null to check if
+// the camera has been stopped.
