yes, the access via SDP Unix socket will also go away.

I think the best is to move this all into a plugin and then we could
have a plugin that provides binary record registration. However I am not
a big fan of doing SDP without XML anymore. Building the record with the
current C function is painful and leads to errors or memory leaks.
