This function is called after a channel is closed, either because it has been closed by the connection manager or because we had a locally generated error.

`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"handler-result"` signal

    void                user_function                      (TfChannel *error,

This message is emitted when we are ready to handle the channel with `NULL` or with an GError if we can not handle the channel.

`error` : | a GError containing the error or `NULL` if there was no error
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"session-created"` signal

    void                user_function                      (TfChannel     *tfchannel,

This signal is emitted when a new session has been created in the connection manager. The user should add the new FsConference to a pipeline and set it to playing. The user should also set any property he wants to set.

`tfchannel` : | the TfChannel which has a new stream
`conference` : | the FsConference of the new session
`participant` : | the FsParticipant of the new session
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
