As the name says, the input is what comes from the upstream element. Audio
elements rarely uses buffer pool in allocation queries, so there is generally no
way your filter can influence that. But, the size from upstream could be
controllable at the source, if that helps performance (e.g. audio source buffer
size is controlled through in duration with the latency property).

If you strictly need power of two here, you can use the GstAdapter to accumulate
and re-slice the data into the size you need. The adapter will merge the memory
as needed. (there is also GstPlanarAudioAdapter in case your filter works with
planar audio).
