Hi, answering to myself. The problem is solved. I screwed up a bit the  
different sides and which handler works on which side.

To summarize it for others:

BEEP strucutre follows a "request/response" model. Example: To transfer a  
file it's not possible to send it directly to a peer, the reciever must  
send a request and the response than is the file. So you have a three step  
ping-pong:

1. Sender announces file
2. Reciever requests file
3. Sender sends data

This pattern fits to the different handlers (first / second level) that  
you can provide for Profiles / Channels.

Best regards.
