actually I was not planning on using D-Bus to handle the communication
of the plugin with the actual Bluetooth audio server. We will have a
small and lightweight proprietary protocol for that. It is a special
case and since we have to use native Unix socket specific calls anyway
to send the socket descriptors it makes sense.

On the other hand, I don't see how you can integrate the D-Bus mainloop
nicely into an ALSA plugin.

Marcel
