Buffers are structures used to pass data between elements. All streams of
data are chopped up into chunks which are stored in buffers. Buffers can be
of any size, and also contain metadata indicating the type of data contained
in them. Buffers can be allocated by various different schemes, and may
either be passed on by elements or unreferenced (and the memory used by the
buffer freed).
