Where to munge websocket data in Ember Data - websocket

Question

I'm writing a web socket service for my Ember app. The service will subscribe to a URL, and receive data. The data will push models into Ember Data's store.
The URL scheme does not represent standard RESTful routes; it's not /posts and /users, for example, it's something like /inbound. Once I subscribe it will just be a firehose of various events.
For each of these routes I subscribe to, I will need to implementing data munging specific to that route, to get the data into a format Ember Data expects. My question is, where is the best place to do this?
An example event object I'll receive:
event: {
0: "device:add",
1: {
device: {
devPath: "/some/path",
label: "abc",
mountPath: "/some/path",
serial: "abc",
uuid: "5406-12F6",
uniqueIdentifier: "f5e30ccd7a3d4678681b580e03d50cc5",
mounted: false,
files: [ ],
ingest: {
uniqueIdentifier: 123
someProp: 123,
anotherProp: 'abc'
}
}
}
}
I'd like to munge the data to be standardized, like this
device: {
id: "f5e30ccd7a3d4678681b580e03d50cc5",
devPath: "/some/path",
label: "abc",
mountPath: "/some/path",
serial: "abc",
uuid: "5406-12F6",
mounted: false,
files: [ ],
ingestId: 123
},
ingest: {
id: 123,
someProp: 123,
anotherProp: 'abc'
}
and then hand that off to something that will know how to add both the device model and the ingest model to the store. I'm just getting confused on all the abstractions in ember data.
Questions:
Which method should I pass that final, standardized JSON to in order to add the records to the store? store.push?
Where is the appropriate place for the initial data munging i.e. getting the event data from the array? Application serializer's extractSingle? pushPayload? Most of the munging will be non-standard across the different routes.
Should per-type serializers be used for each key in the data after I've done the initial munging? i.e. should I had initial "blob" to application serializer, which will then delegate each key to the per-model serializers?
