type_ should actually be the constants that you were looking at before. In
retrospect we probably should make a custom enum for it, I think the only
reason I was hesistant to do this was because of the possibility of additional
constants being added in the future.

Definitely not, doing so would break DRM since the connector is basically
always stored in linked lists.
