I will ask on the gstreamer list. When reading the gstreamer docs it
seems like the "sky's the limit." I wish I could understand the
limitations better.

Marcel wanted to leave this stuff out of bluez for now but avrcp/a2dp
signaling would best fit there if they are to be shared.

alsa-plugin is a little messier than our typical bluetooth-alsa
component. yes, a bunch of those should not be global variables and some
further cleanup is in line. An even bigger problem is we essentially
ignore the return value from write(). I want to figure out how things
can fail there and what we should do to recover.

please submit patches here to the list for now.
