Periodic scanning is bluetooth chip level right? Not something internal 
to bluez or I'm totally wrong?.

Anyway it makes sense to stop inquiry while doing connection attempts, 
not while broadcasting data, because the amount of power used for 
transmission and the amount of data required for it, it's just too much 
too keep scanning.

Wow thanks, will this finally became the latest release of the 3.X 
branch? Who knows... hehe
