Re: DeepFrameBuffer::getSampleCountSlice()

There's no harm in calling insertSampleCountSlice multiple times - it 
should be efficient, as it doesn't search a map to find the channel you 
are inserting, as regular channels do.

You should be able to do this:
Slice sampleCountSlice( UINT , mybase , ... );
buffer.insertSampleCountSlice( sampleCountSlice );

sampleCountSlice.base = mynewbase;
buffer.insertSampleCountSlice( sampleCountSlice );
