I don't like reference counting much, because it makes the object life
cycle harder to understand, so I'd like to avoid it as much as possible.
I'm not sure how many agree with me here, though... Anyway, the solution
that I'd use would be to take advantage of the hook that you introduce
in the next patch. With that you can ensure that module-bluetooth-device
doesn't try to access a freed transport object, without having to rely
on the current approach of calling
pa_bluetooth_discovery_get_transport() all the time. What do you think?
