What about

"When this flag is set, if the pad is linked to any other pad then at least 
one of those links must be enabled for the entity to be able to stream. There 
could be temporary reasons (e.g. device configuration dependent) for the pad 
to need enabled links even when this flag isn't set; the absence of the flag 
doesn't imply there is none. The flag has no effect on pads without connected 
links."

Feel free to drop the last sentence.
