I think it would be a good idea to send one small example patch that 
makes a use of them, just to demonstrate where exactly in PulseAudio 
they would make the code more elegant.

In my opinion, they represent a natural way to declare data types that 
can contain either one set of fields or the other. So, a priori, I have 
no objections.
