This logic changes the actual fps from client. Consider a regular encode usecase
from client setting an fps as 30. The "max(USEC_PER_SEC, us_per_frame)" would
override it to USEC_PER_SEC and then the subsequent logic would eventually make
fps to 1.
Please make it conditional to handle the 0 fps case, i guess that the objective
in above code, something like below
if (!us_per_frame)
us_per_frame = USEC_PER_SEC;
