For the curious ones: after some further groping, we arrived at the conclusion that libports is neither meant nor suitable in any way to deal with ports we only hold the client end of; and so the libports notification handling is meaningless here. To listen for client-side notifications, we need an own handler -- either in a distinct server loop in an extra thread (like in boot for example); or diverting the client-side notifications out of the main server loop by means of major hackery... -antrik-
