I don't think there is, other than the hassle to implement a variant of
pa_hashmap_iterate() (called by pa_proplist_update(), which is called by
pa_proplist_copy()) that takes a const pa_hashmap pointer and returns
const pointers. That could be avoided by doing some ugly casts in
pa_proplist_update(). I'm not sure which is worse - duplicating
pa_hashmap_iterate() or the ugly casts. In any case, if the
non-constness of the pa_proplist_copy() argument is a problem for
someone, I think we should fix pa_proplist_copy() in one way or another.
