The first line is correct; I just pushed a fix for this in

This option looks attractive but it appears to only be used for
outgoing transmission buffers within the other protocol plugins:

mbp:protocols jeff$ grep -r PurpleCircBuffer *
bonjour/jabber.h:	PurpleCircBuffer *tx_buf;
irc/irc.h:	PurpleCircBuffer *outbuf;
jabber/jabber.h:	PurpleCircBuffer *write_buffer;
jabber/jabber.h.orig:	PurpleCircBuffer *write_buffer;
msn/httpconn.h:	PurpleCircBuffer *tx_buf;
msn/servconn.h:	PurpleCircBuffer *tx_buf;
msnp9/httpconn.h:	PurpleCircBuffer *tx_buf;
msnp9/servconn.h:	PurpleCircBuffer *tx_buf;
oscar/oscar.h:	PurpleCircBuffer *buffer_outgoing;
oscar/peer.h:	PurpleCircBuffer *buffer_outgoing;
sametime/sametime.c:  PurpleCircBuffer *sock_buf;
sametime/sametime.c:  PurpleCircBuffer *circ = pd->sock_buf;
simple/simple.h:	PurpleCircBuffer *txbuf;
yahoo/yahoo.h:	PurpleCircBuffer *txbuf;
yahoo/ycht.h:	PurpleCircBuffer *txbuf;

Still it could be useful within msimprpl. I filed
http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/4735 to keep track of this
possibility.
