Hi,

This is precisely what I'm working on. My design reclaims a refactoring
to use GObject family tree. Then, it will be possible to add sources
simply by setting a configuration file. Currently, I simply finish the
refactoring. I start to write code to read a file and build arbitrary
GObject, with properties.

My work is/will be hosted here:
