MediaCas can be used to obtain keys for descrambling protected media streams, in
 conjunction with MediaDescrambler. The MediaCas APIs are
 designed to support conditional access such as those in the ISO/IEC13818-1.
 The CA system is identified by a 16-bit integer CA_system_id. The scrambling
 algorithms are usually proprietary and implemented by vendor-specific CA plugins
 installed on the device.
 
 The app is responsible for constructing a MediaCas object for the CA system it
 intends to use. The app can query if a certain CA system is supported using static
 method isSystemIdSupported(int). It can also obtain the entire list of supported
 CA systems using static method enumeratePlugins().
 
 Once the MediaCas object is constructed, the app should properly provision it by
 using method provision(String) and/or processEmm(byte). The EMMs (Entitlement
 management messages) can be distributed out-of-band, or in-band with the stream.
 
 To descramble elementary streams, the app first calls openSession() to
 generate a Session object that will uniquely identify a session. A session
 provides a context for subsequent key updates and descrambling activities. The ECMs
 (Entitlement control messages) are sent to the session via method
 Session.processEcm.
 
 The app next constructs a MediaDescrambler object, and initializes it with the
 session using MediaDescrambler.setMediaCasSession. This ties the
 descrambler to the session, and the descrambler can then be used to descramble
 content secured with the session's key, either during extraction, or during decoding
 with MediaCodec.
 
If the app handles sample extraction using its own extractor, it can use MediaDescrambler to descramble samples into clear buffers (if the session's license doesn't require secure decoders), or descramble a small amount of data to retrieve information necessary for the downstream pipeline to process the sample (if the session's license requires secure decoders).
 If the session requires a secure decoder, a MediaDescrambler needs to be provided to
 MediaCodec to descramble samples queued by MediaCodec.queueSecureInputBuffer
 into protected buffers. The app should use MediaCodec.configure(MediaFormat,
 android.view.Surface, int, MediaDescrambler) instead of the normal MediaCodec.configure(android.media.MediaFormat, android.view.Surface, android.media.MediaCrypto, int) method
 to configure MediaCodec.
 
Using Android's MediaExtractor
 If the app uses MediaExtractor, it can delegate the CAS session
 management to MediaExtractor by calling MediaExtractor.setMediaCas.
 MediaExtractor will take over and call openSession(), processEmm(byte)
 and/or Session.processEcm, etc.. if necessary.
 
 When using MediaExtractor, the app would still need a MediaDescrambler
 to use with MediaCodec if the licensing requires a secure decoder. The
 session associated with the descrambler of a track can be retrieved by calling
 MediaExtractor.getCasInfo, and used to initialize a MediaDescrambler
 object for MediaCodec.
 
Listeners
The app may register a listener to receive events from the CA system using
 method setEventListener(EventListener, Handler). The exact format of the event is scheme-specific
 and is not specified by this API.

Protected methods
finalize
protected void finalize ()
Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection
 determines that there are no more references to the object.
 A subclass overrides the finalize method to dispose of
 system resources or to perform other cleanup.
 
 The general contract of finalize is that it is invoked
 if and when the Java virtual
 machine has determined that there is no longer any
 means by which this object can be accessed by any thread that has
 not yet died, except as a result of an action taken by the
 finalization of some other object or class which is ready to be
 finalized. The finalize method may take any action, including
 making this object available again to other threads; the usual purpose
 of finalize, however, is to perform cleanup actions before
 the object is irrevocably discarded. For example, the finalize method
 for an object that represents an input/output connection might perform
 explicit I/O transactions to break the connection before the object is
 permanently discarded.
 
 The finalize method of class Object performs no
 special action; it simply returns normally. Subclasses of
 Object may override this definition.
 
 The Java programming language does not guarantee which thread will
 invoke the finalize method for any given object. It is
 guaranteed, however, that the thread that invokes finalize will not
 be holding any user-visible synchronization locks when finalize is
 invoked. If an uncaught exception is thrown by the finalize method,
 the exception is ignored and finalization of that object terminates.
 
 After the finalize method has been invoked for an object, no
 further action is taken until the Java virtual machine has again
 determined that there is no longer any means by which this object can
 be accessed by any thread that has not yet died, including possible
 actions by other objects or classes which are ready to be finalized,
 at which point the object may be discarded.
 
 The finalize method is never invoked more than once by a Java
 virtual machine for any given object.
 
 Any exception thrown by the finalize method causes
 the finalization of this object to be halted, but is otherwise
 ignored.
