This happens if we had no CAPS event yet but e.g. got an EOS event. We
would then try to output a 0-sized buffer, but getting that from the
adapter will give an assertion, return NULL and then crash.
This is useful e.g. if audio buffers should be exactly the duration of a
video frame, or if a audio buffers should never be too large because of
latency constraints.
The element is taking a fractional buffer duration, to allow working
with e.g. 1001/30000 as output duration and it accumulates rounding
errors in the buffer durations and compensates for them by making some
buffers one sample larger than the others.
