I would prefer to replace pa_thread_mq_init() and pa_thread_mq_done()
with pa_thread_mq_new() and pa_thread_mq_free(), the difference of
course being that _new() would return a newly allocated struct instead
of modifying a caller-supplied struct. That would allow the bluetooth
code to set the thread_mq to NULL when it's not used.
