/**
OnlineFeatureInterface is an interface for online feature processing (it is
also usable in the offline setting, but currently we're not using it for
that). This is for use in the online2/ directory, and it supersedes the
interface in ../online/online-feat-input.h. We have a slighty different
model that puts more control in the hands of the calling thread, and won't
involve waiting on semaphores in the decoding thread.
This interface only specifies how the object *outputs* the features.
How it obtains the features, e.g. from a previous object or objects of type
OnlineFeatureInterface, is not specified in the interface and you will
likely define new constructors or methods in the derived type to do that.
You should appreciate that this interface is designed to allow random
access to features, as long as they are ready. That is, the user
can call GetFrame for any frame less than NumFramesReady(), and when
implementing a child class you must not make assumptions about the
order in which the user makes these calls.

/// we haven't yet decided to terminate decoding, but later true if we decide
/// to terminate decoding. This function exists mainly to correctly handle
