I get to choose?  I am used to the latter, but then sometimes I
remember the official VLC coding style is the former.  I started to go
back and fix things up, but then I saw in another vout that the style
was inconsistent.  Anyways, if one style is preferred over the other,
let me know.

I believe the vout thread is a POSIX thread, not an NSThread.  And it
doesn't have a runloop or an autorelease pool.  So I avoided using NS*
stuff whereever possible.  Also, I'm a Linux guy, so I've never used
NSLock. :)  If it is better to use NSLock here given the above
considerations, let me know.
