/** \mainpage
*
* \section intro_sec Introduction
*
* This document describes the client API for the PulseAudio sound
* server. The API comes in two flavours to accommodate different styles
* of applications and different needs in complexity:
*
* \li The complete but somewhat complicated to use asynchronous API
* \li The simplified, easy to use, but limited synchronous API
*
* All strings in PulseAudio are in the UTF-8 encoding, regardless of current
* locale. Some functions will filter invalid sequences from the string, some
* will simply fail. To ensure reliable behaviour, make sure everything you
* pass to the API is already in UTF-8.
* \section simple_sec Simple API
*
* Use this if you develop your program in synchronous style and just
* need a way to play or record data on the sound server. See
* \subpage simple for more details.
*
* \section async_sec Asynchronous API
*
* Use this if you develop your programs in asynchronous, event loop
* based style or if you want to use the advanced features of the
* PulseAudio API. A guide can be found in \subpage async.
*
* By using the built-in threaded main loop, it is possible to achieve a
* pseudo-synchronous API, which can be useful in synchronous applications
* where the simple API is insufficient. See the \ref async page for
* details.
*
* \section thread_sec Threads
*
* The PulseAudio client libraries are not designed to be directly
* thread-safe. They are however designed to be reentrant and
* threads-aware.
*
* To use the libraries in a threaded environment, you must assure that
* all objects are only used in one thread at a time. Normally, this means
* that all objects belonging to a single context must be accessed from the
* same thread.
*
* The included main loop implementation is also not thread safe. Take care
* to make sure event objects are not manipulated when any other code is
* using the main loop.
*
* \section error_sec Error Handling
*
* Every function should explicitly document how errors are reported to
* the caller. Unfortunately, currently a lot of that documentation is
* missing. Here is an overview of the general conventions used.
*
* The PulseAudio API indicates error conditions by returning a negative
* integer value or a NULL pointer. On success, zero or a positive integer
* value or a valid pointer is returned.
*
* Functions of the \ref simple generally return -1 or NULL on failure and
* can optionally store an error code (see ::pa_error_code) using a pointer
* argument.
*
* Functions of the \ref async return an negative error code or NULL on
* failure (see ::pa_error_code). In the later case, pa_context_errno()
* can be used to obtain the error code of the last failed operation.
*
* An error code can be turned into a human readable message using
* pa_strerror().
*
* \section logging_sec Logging
*
* You can configure different logging parameters for the PulseAudio client
* libraries. The following environment variables are recognized:
*
* - `PULSE_LOG`: Maximum log level required. Bigger values result in a
* more verbose logging output. The following values are recognized:
* + `0`: Error messages
* + `1`: Warning messages
* + `2`: Notice messages
* + `3`: Info messages
* + `4`: Debug messages
* - `PULSE_LOG_SYSLOG`: If defined, force all client libraries to log
* their output using the syslog(3) mechanism. Default behavior is to
* log all output to stderr.
* - `PULSE_LOG_JOURNAL`: If defined, force all client libraries to log
* their output using the systemd journal. If both `PULSE_LOG_JOURNAL`
* and `PULSE_LOG_SYSLOG` are defined, logging to the systemd journal
* takes a higher precedence. Each message originating library file name
* and function are included by default through the journal fields
* `CODE_FILE`, `CODE_FUNC`, and `CODE_LINE`. Any backtrace attached to
* the logging message is sent through the PulseAudio-specific journal
* field `PULSE_BACKTRACE`. This environment variable has no effect if
* PulseAudio was compiled without systemd journal support.
* - `PULSE_LOG_COLORS`: If defined, enables colored logging output.
* - `PULSE_LOG_TIME`: If defined, include timestamps with each message.
* - `PULSE_LOG_FILE`: If defined, include each message originating file
* name.
* - `PULSE_LOG_META`: If defined, include each message originating file
* name and path relative to the PulseAudio source tree root.
* - `PULSE_LOG_LEVEL`: If defined, include a log level prefix with each
* message. Respectively, the prefixes "E", "W", "N", "I", "D" stands
* for Error, Warning, Notice, Info, and Debugging.
* - `PULSE_LOG_BACKTRACE`: Number of functions to display in the backtrace.
* If this variable is not defined, or has a value of zero, no backtrace
* is shown.
* - `PULSE_LOG_BACKTRACE_SKIP`: Number of backtrace levels to skip, from
* the function printing the log message downwards.
* - `PULSE_LOG_NO_RATE_LIMIT`: If defined, do not rate limit the logging
* output. Rate limiting skips certain log messages when their frequency
* is considered too high.
*
* \section pkgconfig pkg-config
*
* The PulseAudio libraries provide pkg-config snippets for the different
* modules:
*
* \li libpulse - The asynchronous API and the internal main loop implementation.
* \li libpulse-mainloop-glib - GLIB 2.x main loop bindings.
* \li libpulse-simple - The simple PulseAudio API.
