+ <entry>If this flag is set and 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.</entry>
