- <para>To change link properties applications fill a &media-link-desc; with
- link identification information (source and sink pad) and the new requested
- link flags. They then call the MEDIA_IOC_SETUP_LINK ioctl with a pointer to
- that structure.</para>
- <para>The only configurable property is the <constant>ENABLED</constant>
- link flag to enable/disable a link. Links marked with the
- <constant>IMMUTABLE</constant> link flag can not be enabled or disabled.
- </para>
- <para>Link configuration has no side effect on other links. If an enabled
- link at the sink pad prevents the link from being enabled, the driver
- returns with an &EBUSY;.</para>
- <para>Only links marked with the <constant>DYNAMIC</constant> link flag can
- be enabled/disabled while streaming media data. Attempting to enable or
- disable a streaming non-dynamic link will return an &EBUSY;.</para>
- <para>If the specified link can't be found the driver returns with an
- &EINVAL;.</para>

- <listitem>
- <para>The link properties can't be changed because the link is
- currently busy. This can be caused, for instance, by an active media
- stream (audio or video) on the link. The ioctl shouldn't be retried if
- no other action is performed before to fix the problem.</para>
