Hi Brane.  It looks basically fine to me.  A few stylistic comments below.

The 'r'-prefixed parameters designate 'return', I assume.  In membuf_create() the output 'rpool' seems gratuitous: the caller could just as easily assign it as pass it.

membuf_create() has 'rdata' and 'rsize' are both plain outputs (makes sense), while membuf_ensure() has 'size' (in) and 'rsize' (in/out), and just one 'data' pointer (in/out).  That all makes sense individually but I needed to inspect the code to figure it out.  Please could the doc strings describe all the params, to be clear.

In the last few years be have become fairly consistent in putting output parameters first and pool params last.  Would be good to stick to that.

No need for the "?:" since APR_ALIGN_DEFAULT will round 0 up to the nearest multiple of 8 which is 0 anyway.

'const' is typically not used on a local variable of short scope.
