+Source routes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Cases where a single sub-device pad is a source of multiple streams are special
+as there is no sink pad for such a route. In those cases, an internal pad is
+used as the sink pad. Such pads have the :ref:`MEDIA_PAD_FL_INTERNAL_SOURCE
+<MEDIA-PAD-FL-INTERNAL-SOURCE>` flag set.
+
+Internal pads have all the properties of a sink pad in such case, including
+formats and selections. The format in this case is the source format of the
+stream. An internal pad always has a single stream only (0).
+
+Generally source routes are not modifiable but they can be activated and
+inactivated using the :ref:`V4L2_SUBDEV_ROUTE_FL_ACTIVE
+<v4l2-subdev-routing-flags>` flag, depending on driver capabilities.
