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.
Protect caps with the lock.
Don't push the caps event from the set_property function but mark the
pad for reconfiguration so that it will renegotiate and push the new
caps event in the streaming thread.
We should open the socket when going to NULL<->READY and not in the
start/stop vemthod, which is called in READY<->PAUSED. This makes it
possible to allocate a socket without going to PAUSED (and starting the
negotiation).
On Windows it's not possible to bind to a multicast address
but the OS will make sure to filter out all packets that
arrive not for the multicast address the socket joined.
On Linux and others it is necessary to bind to a multicast
address to let the OS filter out all packets that are received
on the same port but for different addresses than the multicast
address
And deprecate the multicast-group property and replace it with the
address property.

This is equivalent to multicast-group currently for backwards compatibility.
In 2.0 this should be handled separately, the former only being the multicast
group and the latter always being the address the socket is bound to, even if
a multicast group is given.
On Windows and OS/X, _get_available_bytes() may not return the size
of the next pending packet, but the size of all pending packets in
the kernel-side buffer, which might be rather large depending on
configuration. Sanity-check the size returned by _get_available_bytes()
to make sure we never allocate more memory than the max. size for
a packet, if it's an IPv4 socket.

Make it possible to set the timeout after we went to the READY state by using
the timeout when checking the condition. This also makes it possible to set the
timeout with a higher granularity than seconds.
udpsrc already has support for setting the multicast interface, which
is useful for multi-homed machines. This patch adds the same code to
the multiudpsink.
Fixes https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685864
Add an option to the multiudpsink that makes it possible to force
the use of an IPv4 socket.
This can e.g. be used to handle the issue described in
