What does this mean? Which new API?

There seems to be very subtle change of behaviour.

Before this patch, the dc->* are not set until the emulator check is
done. With this path, it is possible in the normal case some of the
fields are initialised in the error path.

I think this is OK given the callbacks in the upper layer and in
the writer don't rely on those fields to clean up. Just one thing to
note.

That said, I suggest you move all initialisation of dc->* in one place.

Though it doesn't have helper, do you not need to check if the back
channel stream itself is OK? The comment itself doesn't seem to justify
this change.

Wei.
