the filter needs at least $width input frames to generate an output frame,
so it queues them
when the buffer is full, it will pop the head and generate the output frame
when the next input frame arrives, but the amount of input frames in the
queue needed to generate new frames is constant so it cannot output any
additional frames
at the end it will flush the buffer and generate the remaining output frames
