+
+ <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>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>
