I know there was some talk on the mailing list awhile ago of replacing the
channel module with something a little simpler.
If we do want to patch this issue I would suggest having this done at
construction time.
var deviceready = channel.create('deviceready', channel.types.once);
var pause = channel.create('pause', channel.types.refireable);
(naming in example above is for discussion purposes only ;) )
