   This class can store up to <size> frames.
   The frames are marked "empty" these frames can be re-used
   and filled with data.
   The other queue stores "data" frames. These frames can 
   be dequeued and then are be passed to the "empty" queue.

   Note: you need to _fill_ the empty queue with allocated frames,
         after constructions. The pointers then are owned by this
         class (== deleted in destructor)
