Please provide an example for the purpose/use case of this API.

Thanks

Section "Incoming sources" has zero go2rtc config examples :(

[AlexxIT]

Example:

streams:
  camera1:

From docs:

You can push data only to existing stream (create stream with empty source in config)

[xaionaro]

Yes. This is basically what I tried before commenting about the absence of the config. If one writes config:

streams:
  camera1:

publish:
  camera1:
    - rtmp://127.0.0.1:1937/live

And then executes go2rtc, they get an error:

xaionaro@void:~/go/src/github.com/AlexxIT/go2rtc$ go run ./

You can't publish empty stream

[xaionaro]

Yes. But I intent to start streaming to this endpoint (e.g. using OBS) soon after running go2rtc (and hoping to get this stream re-published). I thought this was the use case intended by the support of "empty" sources.
