/** \page async Asynchronous API
*
* \section overv_sec Overview
*
* The asynchronous API is the native interface to the PulseAudio library.
* It allows full access to all available functionality. This however means that
* it is rather complex and can take some time to fully master.
*
* \section mainloop_sec Main Loop Abstraction
*
* The API is based around an asynchronous event loop, or main loop,
* abstraction. This abstraction contains three basic elements:
*
* \li Deferred events - Events that will trigger as soon as possible. Note
* that some implementations may block all other events
* when a deferred event is active.
* \li I/O events - Events that trigger on file descriptor activities.
* \li Times events - Events that trigger after a fixed amount of time.
*
* The abstraction is represented as a number of function pointers in the
* pa_mainloop_api structure.
*
* To actually be able to use these functions, an implementation needs to
* be coupled to the abstraction. There are three of these shipped with
* PulseAudio, but any other can be used with a minimal amount of work,
* provided it supports the three basic events listed above.
*
* The implementations shipped with PulseAudio are:
*
* \li \subpage mainloop - A minimal but fast implementation based on poll().
* \li \subpage threaded_mainloop - A special version of the previous
* implementation where all of PulseAudio's
* internal handling runs in a separate
* thread.
* \li \subpage glib-mainloop - A wrapper around GLib's main loop.
*
* UNIX signals may be hooked to a main loop using the functions from
* \ref mainloop-signal.h. These rely only on the main loop abstraction
* and can therefore be used with any of the implementations.
*
* \section refcnt_sec Reference Counting
*
* Almost all objects in PulseAudio are reference counted. What that means
* is that you rarely malloc() or free() any objects. Instead you increase
* and decrease their reference counts. Whenever an object's reference
* count reaches zero, that object gets destroy and any resources it uses
* get freed.
*
* The benefit of this design is that an application need not worry about
* whether or not it needs to keep an object around in case the library is
* using it internally. If it is, then it has made sure it has its own
* reference to it.
*
* Whenever the library creates an object, it will have an initial
* reference count of one. Most of the time, this single reference will be
* sufficient for the application, so all required reference count
* interaction will be a single call to the object's unref function.
*
* \section context_sec Context
*
* A context is the basic object for a connection to a PulseAudio server.
* It multiplexes commands, data streams and events through a single
* channel.
*
* There is no need for more than one context per application, unless
* connections to multiple servers are needed.
*
* \subsection ops_subsec Operations
*
* All operations on the context are performed asynchronously. I.e. the
* client will not wait for the server to complete the request. To keep
* track of all these in-flight operations, the application is given a
* pa_operation object for each asynchronous operation.
*
* There are only two actions (besides reference counting) that can be
* performed on a pa_operation: querying its state with
* pa_operation_get_state() and aborting it with pa_operation_cancel().
*
* A pa_operation object is reference counted, so an application must
* make sure to unreference it, even if it has no intention of using it.
*
* \subsection conn_subsec Connecting
*
* A context must be connected to a server before any operation can be
* issued. Calling pa_context_connect() will initiate the connection
* procedure. Unlike most asynchronous operations, connecting does not
* result in a pa_operation object. Instead, the application should
* register a callback using pa_context_set_state_callback().
*
* \subsection disc_subsec Disconnecting
*
* When the sound support is no longer needed, the connection needs to be
* closed using pa_context_disconnect(). This is an immediate function that
* works synchronously.
*
* Since the context object has references to other objects it must be
* disconnected after use or there is a high risk of memory leaks. If the
* connection has terminated by itself, then there is no need to explicitly
* disconnect the context using pa_context_disconnect().
*
* \section Functions
*
* The sound server's functionality can be divided into a number of
* subsections:
*
* \li \subpage streams
* \li \subpage scache
* \li \subpage introspect
* \li \subpage subscribe
