     * or sliced-threads enabled.  This callback also does not work as one would expect
     * with HRD -- since the buffering period SEI cannot be calculated until the frame
     * is finished encoding, it will not be sent via this callback.

     * x264_nal_t to help the calling application reorder the slices if necessary.
     *
     * When this callback is enabled, x264_encoder_encode does not return valid NALs;
     * the calling application is expected to acquire all output NALs through the callback.
     *
     * It is generally sensible to combine this callback with a use of slice-max-mbs or
     * slice-max-size.
     *
