Yeah I know, while I think using AnalogueGain or even a \todo is
irrelevant in this patch. We may add a separate one to use
AnalogueGain directly :)

Sure :)

What I meant is the threading issue, while the order is also an issue, true.

Makes a lot of sense. Will try to apply in the next patch.

That's a very good question. I'd like your input: Do you think we
should pause the jpeg process until all necessary metadata tags are
available?

Okay, I think I misunderstood the \todo, but the point is that it
doesn't handle the threading issue. We should avoid reading it in the
post processor thread, especially with partial results, as the Request
might not have been completed.
