Hi Alexander,
I'd like to merge this patch (sorry that it has taken so long), but i
have one question:

Do the default arguments really work or make sense? I don't know Vala
very well, but in other languages that I know, arguments with a default
value have to be grouped to the end of the argument list, because
anything else is ambiguous, or at least confusing to the reader.
For example:
Simple(dir, "foo", sample_spec);
>From the argument types it's possible to deduce what the programmer
probably means with the dir and sample_spec arguments, but is "foo" the
dev argument or the stream_name argument? Since dev is optional and
stream_name is mandatory, "foo" probably is the stream name, but does
the vala compiler really do this kind of deduction?
