uhm, i could think about a structural problem there (iirci faced this problem) 
basically onSourceAdded data[source] is not ready yet, will be in the nexo 
loop
so you should do onSourceAdded: connectSource(source) then iirc could still be 
not ready, if you read it after a while (like a timer) then should be ready

but yeah, is probably something to fix there
