 * length field for tagged_stream use.
 *
 * This block outputs one whole frame at a time; if there is not enough
 * output buffer space to fit a frame, it is pushed onto a queue. As a result
 * flowgraphs which only run for a finite number of samples may not receive
 * all frames in the queue, due to the scheduler's granularity. For
 * flowgraphs that stream continuously (anything using a USRP) this should
 * not be an issue.
