You are off by one.  The nomenclature might not be the best in the
world, but it's what we've got.

history refers to how many samples you need to look at to compute a
single output (ignoring decimation and interpolation).  Thus, the
normal case is 1.  That is y[i] = f(x[i]).

If you want noutput_samples + 1, then set_history(2).
