Interesting. I coded the call to default everything it could, but maybe
Avahi is a little less forgiving about NULL parameters. In particular
it wouldn't surprise me if they thought that there *must* be a callback
function --- we're playing fast and loose with the API by not bothering
to check for a response from the daemon.
