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.
