/**
 * Media source API aims to manage "services discovery" easily from UI clients.
 *
 * A "media source provider", associated to the libvlc instance, allows to
 * retrieve media sources (each associated to a services discovery module).
 *
 * Requesting a services discovery that is not open will automatically open it.
 * If several "clients" request the same media source (i.e. by requesting the
 * same name), they will receive the same (refcounted) media source instance.
 * As soon as a media source is released by all its clients, the associated
 * services discovery is closed.
 *
 * Each media source holds a media tree, used to store both the media
 * detected by the services discovery and the media detected by preparsing.
 * Clients may listen to the tree to be notified of changes.
 *
 * To preparse a media belonging to a media tree, use vlc_media_tree_Preparse().
 * If subitems are detected during the preparsing, the media tree is updated
 * accordingly.
