I try to explain this more (I'm have noticed I'm not very good in explaining 
things especially when using other than my native language...)

sourceRequested is implemented and it gets called when connectSource is called 
but since sourceRequest does not call setData (like in TimeEngine) 
DataContainer is not created, but I guess I could just call setData with 
empty value so it gets created.
