The original series uses Unix sockets, i'm moving it to Media API.
I agree some refactoring is needed and separating through endpoint
modules is one way to achieve this.  However, how would you handle the fact
that several sinks and sources are connected to same remote device at same time,
this could be confusing since only one could be "acquired".
