What would you use that for? Check for a particular service (such as the
audiosink, etc.) being available? Do you do something special when that
happens? Wouldn't the devices just be invisible to PA in that case?

If we wanted to add support for dbus activation, we'd also need to
implement a way to close ourselves if no dbus connection were made in a
certain amount of time.
