State that both methods should always return valid task runners (not null)?

[alokp, 2017/05/10 18:04:03]

Done.

+  virtual base::SingleThreadTaskRunner* GetTaskRunner() = 0;
+
+  // Heavyweight tasks should use GetWorkerTaskRunner() instead of
+  // GetTaskRunner(). On most platforms they are the same, but some share the
+  // UI loop with the audio IO loop.

Move audio_manager.h l.49 comment here instead? I think that one explains the
meaning of task runners better.

I do not see a difference in the comments. What exactly is missing here?

The other comment makes more sense, since there is no concept of UI and IO loops
in media.

+  virtual base::SingleThreadTaskRunner* GetWorkerTaskRunner() = 0;
+};
+
+}  // namespace media
+
+#endif  // MEDIA_AUDIO_AUDIO_THREAD_H_
