[opus] The codec can not support multi-thread ?

[Jean-Marc Valin]

There are two ways to have thread issues with Opus:

1) You are defining NONTHREADSAFE_PSEUDOSTACK in the build. As the name
implies, this results in a non-threadsafe library.

2) You are reusing the same encoder/decoder state from two threads
simultaneously (which doesn't make sense since each stream needs its own
state).

The Opus library does not use any global state (except for case 1
above), so there cannot be any re-entrance issue.

Cheers,
