+ * tp_account_channel_request_new_stream_tube:
+ * @account: a #TpAccount
+ * @service: the service name that will be used over the tube. It should be a
+ * well-known TCP service name as defined by
+ * http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers or
+ * http://www.dns-sd.org/ServiceTypes.html, for instance "rsync" or "daap".
+ * @user_action_time: the time of the user action that caused this request,
+ *  or one of the special values %TP_USER_ACTION_TIME_NOT_USER_ACTION or
+ *  %TP_USER_ACTION_TIME_CURRENT_TIME (see
+ *  #TpAccountChannelRequest:user-action-time)
+ *
+ * Convenience function to create a new #TpAccountChannelRequest object,
+ * which will yield a StreamTube channel.
+ *
+ * After creating the request, you will also need to set the "target"
+ * of the channel by calling one of the following functions:
+ *
+ * - tp_account_channel_request_set_target_contact()
+ * - tp_account_channel_request_set_target_id()
+ *
+ * Returns: a new #TpAccountChannelRequest object
+ *
+ * Since: UNRELEASED
