Hi mccurly,
Thank you for the example. It seems to me that the cookbook solution shows
a general way of addressing this kind of problem, using references and
server commands. However, I agree that it disappointing to have to use
such technical hacks for such a simple task.
Your example has actually forced me to think a little more seriously to
something I had in mind: see #387. I'm not sure when we can expect that
new feature. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll give you get_source_by_id
in the meantime: if the ID is not found, it's not very satisfying to
return an arbitrary source, but it's dangerous to raise an exception. This
should be another ticket: support exceptions (failure) in Lang. Currently,
any such failure could crash the streaming (the error would kill not only
the even handler on_connect but also the source that called it; we need to
systematically install protections).
