This fixes a bug where pulseaudio would give up the device (due to
a request from JACK), but then immediately grab it again because
the monitor callback fired, telling that the device is now available.

(Note: the protocol does not specify a timeout, i e if pulseaudio
is requested to give its device up but JACK does not grab the dbus name,
at what point is PulseAudio allowed to re-grab it?)

Will commit this to stable-3.x and master in a few days if there are
no objections.

@Lennart, would you mind committing this to the upstream reserve.git repo as 
well?

This seems pretty equivalent to a patch[1] that I sent earlier, with the
difference that with your patch change_cb() is called also in "busy ->
busy" transitions (i.e. when the bus name changes owner, and neither old
or new owner is pulseaudio).

[1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.pulseaudio.general/15053

There is the problem of busy not being correctly initialized, i e, the
initial value of busy does not take ourselves into account. Explicitly
checking is_really_busy(old) works around this issue. (Properly
initializing busy is a more elegant solution though.)

Good point. So, there are two bugs: m->busy isn't initialized properly,
and change_cb() is sometimes called even when m->busy doesn't change.

Well, I figured that it would be - maybe mostly theoretical here, but still - the case that given three apps A, B, and C with descending priorities, that B want to know of a change from A to C so that it could grab the sound card now that a lower priority app has it.

How to proceed? If I was to decide, we'd take my patch for fixing the
redundant change_cb() calls, and adapt your patch to fix the
initialization (is_really_busy() should be called in rm_watch(), instead
of using it in filter_handler() to work around the initialization bug).
If that sounds good, do you wish to send an updated patch, or do you
prefer me to do it?

I don't have time/priority to fix the initialization (I believe it requires a call to org.freedesktop's GetNameOwner function?), so if you do the initialization within a few days time I'm okay with that. Otherwise I suggest we push my patch as it is.
