Ok, so I can happily say that we had a great IRC conversation on the 
topic today. The outcome was:

  * Not to register port objects with the core (for the time being)

  * Not to add "inactive" sinks/sources to the client API (for the time 
being)

  * When port availability changes, fire a subscription event for the card.

  * I'm not sure we got consensus on if/when the sink/source should also 
get a subscription event, but that can be discussed later.

  * To change the existing proposal's "is_input" and "is_output" to a 
bitfield. Thus the new client API proposal is now attached. I'll start 
working on implementing this next week unless I hear massive complaints.

One detail though: should the enums be declared as is (e g 
"pa_direction_t direction;") or as ints ("int direction;")? I remember 
someone saying enums were more likely to change size than ints.
