That sounds like a reasonable approach to me--if anything, the heap buffer
method sounds _more_ complex. (: If you're worried about it being
difficult to document, I can take a shot at writing up a (tentative, of
course) design spec to work from. The way I'm envisioning it at the
moment, it should just be a matter of assigning a frame number and "ready"
flag to each buffer; then the export layer can just wait for each frame's
"ready" flag in sequence, while the core delegates out frames to the
individual filter threads as they become idle.
