Sounds like a good candidate for the Bridge design pattern.  Create
an interface for the logging, and provide two implementations: the
StreamDevice built-in implementation and the Asyn implementation.  Those
parts of StreamDevice that know nothing about Asyn will continue to know
nothing about Asyn, yet the Asyn implementation could be used.
