+ * ## Config objects
+ *
+ * To create an object from the factory, one can use the \ref pw_core_create_object()
+ * method or make an object in the `context.objects` section like:
+ *
+ *\code{.unparsed}
+ * context.objects = [
+ * { factory = link-factory
+ *     args = {
+ *         link.output.node = system
+ *         link.output.port = capture_2
+ *         link.input.node  = my-mic
+ *         link.input.port  = input_FR
+ *     }
+ * }
+ *\endcode
+ *
+ * Note that this only works when the ports that need to be linked are available
+ * at the time the config file is parsed.
