9Use these tests to test functionality of the various tcp plugins

11* server: nc -l -p 3000
12  client: nc localhost 3000
13  everything you type in the server is shown on the client
14  everything you type in the client is shown on the server

16* server: nc -l -p 3000
17  client: gst-launch tcpclientsrc protocol=none port=3000 ! fdsink fd=2
18  everything you type in the server is shown on the client

20* server: nc -l -p 3000
21  client: gst-launch fdsrc fd=1 ! tcpclientsink protocol=none port=3000
22  everything you type in the client is shown on the server

35multifdsink
36-----------
37- operation:
38  - client fd gets added when "add" signal gets emitted on multifdsink
39  - signal handler creates a GstTCPClient structure, adds it to ->clients,
40    and adds the fd to ->fd_hash, then emits client-added
41  - client
42
43  - when a buffer comes in:
44    - the _render vmethod puts the buffer on the global queue
45    - and increases bytes_to_serve
46    - (currently it sets streamheaders, but since this is treated globally
47       this is wrong - clients can be at different positions in the stream)
48
49  - when a client issues a write (ie requests data):
50    - when using GDP, if no caps sent yet, send caps first, then set caps_sent
51    - if streamheader buffers, and we haven't sent yet to this client,
52      send current streamheader buffers, then set streamheader_sent
53    - send out buffers
