+// CompoundBuffer implements a data buffer that is composed of several pieces,
+// each stored in a refcounted IOBuffer. It is needed for encoding/decoding
+// video pipeline to represent data packet and minimize data copying.
+// It is particularly useful for splitting data between multiple RTP packets
+// and assembling them into one buffer on the receiving side.
+//
+// CompoundBufferInputStream implements ZeroCopyInputStream interface
+// to be used by protobuf to decode data stored in CompoundBuffer into
+// a protocol buffer message.

Add comment on threadsafety of this class.

Done.

You mean nothing can be appended to prepend right? You can still change the data
inside it if you pass in an IOBuffer and manipulate it externally...

Change to be more specific that you can't append or prepend?
