Could be, somewhat. Usually buffersize callback is used to allocate
buffers. My implementation guarantees that process callback is not
called with _more_ data between the buffersize callbacks. It can be one
sample less. It's just based on libsamplerate.

My rtEq code for example just does .Put() to filter and .Get() from
filter. All the buffer vs processing size is hidden and non-relevant.
And in case of recursive multi rate filter it can be different on each
recursion anyway.

In case of OSS backend, this can be handled by the driver. For multiple
samplerate case this is more complex.
