Sorry, that's not my ROI right now: what exactly is the problem with
shutdown_media_server notifications?

Is this really a question? I'm surprised how you express things to be
obvious but don't understand the meaning of that? launch_daemon is
obviously the major and most probable of messing with the restart
service, but not the only. Since the introduction of the launch_daemon
I mean that the launch_daemon does not create problems, it may just make
previously existing problems more obvious. So if you fix something
there, it's not a launch_daemon specific fix, it's a general fix.

Yes, it's probably not really needed anymore, however, we still need it
for binary compatibility. We could probably change its implementation to a:
BLaunchRoster().Start("x-vnd.Haiku-media_server");
Note that you can disable the media_server service from the
launch_daemon and then still launch it manually. That's why the above
implementation would actually make sense -- plus the launch_daemon will
then monitor the team, and restart it when needed.
Bye,
Axel.
