There is no way to filter by TODO state. One way to achieve the same
effect, however, is to set the variable org-todo-state-tags-triggers,
which causes tags to be added to (and removed from) an item
automatically when you switch to a particular todo state. 

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    (setq org-todo-state-tags-triggers
	  '(
	    ("STARTED" 
	     ("NEXT" . t) 
	     ("WAITING" . nil)
	     )
	    ("WAITING" 
	     ("WAITING" . t)
	     ("NEXT" . nil)
	     )
             ))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The above setting adds a :NEXT: tag whenever the todo state is
switched to STARTED and a :WAITING: tag whenever the todo state is
switched to WAITING. These tags can then be filtered.

Best,
