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 Timer 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 + */ + +/** \file + * Connection contexts for asynchronous communication with a + * server.
