  Callback called when buffers should be emitted by a source, filter or endpoint.

  It is called only for output pads in the pull mode, as in their case demand
  is triggered by the input pad of the subsequent element.

  In sources and endpoint, appropriate amount of data should be sent here.

  In filters, this callback should usually return `:demand` action with
  size sufficient for supplying incoming demand. This will result in calling
  `c:Membrane.Filter.handle_process_list/4`, which is to supply
  the demand.

  If a source or an endpoint is unable to produce enough buffers, or a filter
  underestimated returned demand, the `:redemand` action should be used (see
  `t:Membrane.Element.Action.redemand_t/0`).
