They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
Each write will update the last_activity_time and otherwise we would
compare against a too old current time and immediately timeout because
current time is smaller than last activity time (overflow).
We can't just make a vfunc that takes a union of int
and pointer as argument, and then set up subclass-specific
action signals and signals that take int (in multifdsink's
case) or a GSocket * (in multisocketsink's case), and then
expect everything to Just Work. This blows up spectacularly
on PPC G4 for some reason.
Fixes multifdsink unit test on PPC, and fixes aborts in
multisocketunit test (now hangs in gst_pad_push - progress).
