I was thinking of "create an I/O queue" as an operation that would replace the "a new stream" text in the API algorithms: it creates an "empty" immediate queue and leaves it to the calling algorithm to push items into it, since push is careful to sidestep the end-of-queue item. But if you think it should take data to initialize the queue, that's fine.
