Right now we have thread per interface which push frame to queue, another
writting thread is getting frames and writes them to file.

We *could* instead of normal g_async_queue_push() use
g_async_queue_push_sorted() with function which sort by timestamp.

+ we'd need to write only frames which have some age.

We *could*, but I think it can cause some problems, please use reordercap.
