/**
 * SECTION:element-multifdsink
 * @short_description: Send data to multiple file descriptors
 * @see_also: tcpserversink
 *
 * <refsect2>
 * <para>
 * This plugin writes incoming data to a set of file descriptors. The
 * file descriptors can be added to multifdsink by emitting the "add" signal. 
 * For each descriptor added, the "client-added" signal will be called.
 * </para>
 * <para>
 * As of version 0.10.8, a client can also be added with the "add-full" signal
 * that allows for more control over what and how much data a client 
 * initially receives.
 * </para>
 * <para>
 * Clients can be removed from multifdsink by emitting the "remove" signal. For
 * each descriptor removed, the "client-removed" signal will be called. The
 * "client-removed" signal can also be fired when multifdsink decides that a
 * client is not active anymore or, depending on the value of the
 * "recover-policy" property, if the client is reading too slowly.
 * In all cases, multifdsink will never close a file descriptor itself.
 * The user of multifdsink is responsible for closing all file descriptors.
 * This can for example be done in response to the "client-fd-removed" signal.
 * Note that multifdsink still has a reference to the file descriptor when the
 * "client-removed" signal is emitted, so that "get-stats" can be performed on
 * the descriptor; it is therefore not safe to close the file descriptor in
 * the "client-removed" signal handler, and you should use the 
 * "client-fd-removed" signal to safely close the fd.
 * </para>
 * <para>
 * Multifdsink internally keeps a queue of the incoming buffers and uses a
 * separate thread to send the buffers to the clients. This ensures that no
 * client write can block the pipeline and that clients can read with different
 * speeds.
 * </para>
 * <para>
 * When adding a client to multifdsink, the "sync-method" property will define
 * which buffer in the queued buffers will be sent first to the client. Clients 
 * can be sent the most recent buffer (which might not be decodable by the 
 * client if it is not a keyframe), the next keyframe received in 
 * multifdsink (which can take some time depending on the keyframe rate), or the
 * last received keyframe (which will cause a simple burst-on-connect). 
 * Multifdsink will always keep at least one keyframe in its internal buffers
 * when the sync-mode is set to latest-keyframe.
 * </para>
 * <para>
 * As of version 0.10.8, there are additional values for the sync-method 
 * property to allow finer control over burst-on-connect behaviour. By selecting
 * the 'burst' method a minimum burst size can be chosen, 'burst-keyframe'
 * additionally requires that the burst begin with a keyframe, and 
 * 'burst-with-keyframe' attempts to burst beginning with a keyframe, but will
 * prefer a minimum burst size even if it requires not starting with a keyframe.
 * </para>
 * <para>
 * Multifdsink can be instructed to keep at least a minimum amount of data
 * expressed in time or byte units in its internal queues with the the 
 * "time-min" and "bytes-min" properties respectively. These properties are
 * useful if the application adds clients with the "add-full" signal to
 * make sure that a burst connect can actually be honored. 
 * </para>
 * <para>
 * When streaming data, clients are allowed to read at a different rate than
 * the rate at which multifdsink receives data. If the client is reading too
 * fast, no data will be send to the client until multifdsink receives more
 * data. If the client, however, reads too slowly, data for that client will be 
 * queued up in multifdsink. Two properties control the amount of data 
 * (buffers) that is queued in multifdsink: "buffers-max" and 
 * "buffers-soft-max". A client that falls behind by "buffers-max" is removed 
 * from multifdsink forcibly.
 * </para>
 * <para>
 * A client with a lag of at least "buffers-soft-max" enters the recovery
 * procedure which is controlled with the "recover-policy" property. A recover
 * policy of NONE will do nothing, RESYNC_LATEST will send the most recently
 * received buffer as the next buffer for the client, RESYNC_SOFT_LIMIT
 * positions the client to the soft limit in the buffer queue and
 * RESYNC_KEYFRAME positions the client at the most recent keyframe in the
 * buffer queue.
 * </para>
 * <para>
 * multifdsink will by default synchronize on the clock before serving the 
 * buffers to the clients. This behaviour can be disabled by setting the sync 
 * property to FALSE. Multifdsink will by default not do QoS and will never
 * drop late buffers.
 * </para>
 * </refsect2>
