The simple case is that a buffer is created, memory allocated, data put

something (like creating a new buffer and decoding into it), and
unreferences the buffer. This causes the data to be freed and the buffer
to be destroyed. A typical MPEG audio decoder works like this.

The simple case is that a buffer is created, memory allocated, data put
in it, and passed to the next filter. That filter reads the data, does
in it, and passed to the next element. That element reads the data, does
something (like creating a new buffer and decoding into it), and
unreferences the buffer. This causes the data to be freed and the buffer
to be destroyed. A typical MPEG audio decoder works like this.
