Currently the 2 API work side by side, in fact we should already be
able to use on MeeGo 1.2, for MeeGo 1.3 we should probably be moving
for BlueZ 5.x which afaik will remove the unix socket IPC completely
(Marcel can tell you the exact plan), so IMO we should try to
prioritize the Media API solution which btw is what currently
use/qualify in harmattan.
