If they went to obtain the codecs in slot 3 while this operation occurred, they'd hit the write lock. Once the write lock was released, they'd get the new codec information in slot 3.

Maybe I should just do a better job reading the comments:
* \warning This macro will overwrite anything already present at the position provided.

Not exactly what I would call AST_VECTOR_INSERT, more like AST_VECTOR_SET with auto-expansion.  Oh well you are right sorry!

>     (b) Payload types (which are ao2 ref counted objects) are no longer stored in an ao2_container. This container had two patterns of usage: lookups by an integer key value and iteration. Vectors work well for this type of access and - for relatively small numbers of items (which is generally the case for payload types), are much faster on both counts.
