Steps to reproduce:

For gecko-media we don't rely on Preferences (yet?) so we need default values for at least the sCubebPlaybackLatencyInMilliseconds variable.

Maire, you don't need to worry about this. This is not a problem in Firefox. These variables are initialized when we initialize Cubeb in Firefox.

I'm setting the tracking flags to unaffected so that nobody panics about this.

For the gecko-media Rust crate, I think we can just initialize the Preferences system so that these prefs are initialized just like they are in Firefox. I'm part way through that patch.

I think sCubebPlaybackLatencyInMillisecond should be initialized to  CUBEB_NORMAL_LATENCY_MS.

I think sCubebMSGLatencyInFrames should be initiaized to CUBEB_NORMAL_LATENCY_FRAMES.

Paul, can you take a look at this and suggest whether these are sane default values? We need these as we're exporting Gecko's media stack out into a Rust crate, and the preferences system isn't stood up yet.

Makes this 100 milliseconds.

Make this 512 frames. Note that in practice, we get this value via cubeb, it depends widely on the platform.

This is needed for Servo's gecko-media where there is no support for
Mozilla Preferences.
