Yes, but I don't have better suggestions. The problem is that
transferring memblocks and tagstructs is handled with completely
different APIs. I'd like to send the srchannel buffer as part of the
"enable ringbuffer" command, but currently there's no way to include
memblocks in tagstructs. Changing the code to allow this doesn't seem
easy, but if you want to try, that would be great.

Attaching the "is this an srchannel buffer" information to pa_memblock
is ugly, but relatively uninvasive, which is why I suggested that.
