I'm not sure what buffering you had in mind.  AFAIK, Emacs reads into
a buffer whatever portion output of a process is available in the
OS-maintained pipe, decodes that portion, and passes the decoded text
to the filter or sentinel function.

If I understand your intent correctly, there's no buffering on the
Emacs side in this case.
