+ *
+ * \section overv_sec Overview
+ *
+ * Audio streams form the central functionality of the sound server. Data is
+ * routed, converted and mixed from several sources before it is passed along
+ * to a final output. Currently, there are three forms of audio streams:
+ *
+ * \li Playback streams - Data flows from the client to the server.
+ * \li Record streams - Data flows from the server to the client.
+ * \li Upload streams - Similar to playback streams, but the data is stored in
+ * the sample cache. See \ref scache for more information
+ * about controlling the sample cache.
+ *
+ * \section create_sec Creating
+ *
+ * To access a stream, a pa_stream object must be created using
+ * pa_stream_new() or pa_stream_new_extended(). pa_stream_new() is for PCM
+ * streams only, while pa_stream_new_extended() can be used for both PCM and
+ * compressed audio streams. At this point the application must specify what
+ * stream format(s) it supports. See \ref sample and \ref channelmap for more
+ * information on the stream format parameters. FIXME: Those references only
+ * talk about PCM parameters, we should also have an overview page for how the
+ * pa_format_info based stream format configuration works. Bug filed:
+ * https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72265
+ *
+ * This first step will only create a client-side object, representing the
+ * stream. To use the stream, a server-side object must be created and
+ * associated with the local object. Depending on which type of stream is
+ * desired, a different function is needed:
+ *
+ * \li Playback stream - pa_stream_connect_playback()
+ * \li Record stream - pa_stream_connect_record()
+ * \li Upload stream - pa_stream_connect_upload() (see \ref scache)
+ *
+ * Similar to how connections are done in contexts, connecting a stream will
+ * not generate a pa_operation object. Also like contexts, the application
+ * should register a state change callback, using
+ * pa_stream_set_state_callback(), and wait for the stream to enter an active
+ * state.
+ *
+ * Note: there is a user-controllable slider in mixer applications such as
+ * pavucontrol corresponding to each of the created streams. Multiple
+ * (especially identically named) volume sliders for the same application might
+ * confuse the user. Also, the server supports only a limited number of
+ * simultaneous streams. Because of this, it is not always appropriate to
+ * create multiple streams in one application that needs to output multiple
+ * sounds. The rough guideline is: if there is no use case that would require
+ * separate user-initiated volume changes for each stream, perform the mixing
+ * inside the application.
+ *
+ * \subsection bufattr_subsec Buffer Attributes
+ *
+ * Playback and record streams always have a server-side buffer as
+ * part of the data flow. The size of this buffer needs to be chosen
+ * in a compromise between low latency and sensitivity for buffer
+ * overflows/underruns.
+ *
+ * The buffer metrics may be controlled by the application. They are
+ * described with a pa_buffer_attr structure.
+ *
+ * If PA_STREAM_ADJUST_LATENCY is set, then the tlength/fragsize
+ * parameters of the pa_buffer_attr structure will be interpreted
+ * slightly differently than otherwise when passed to
+ * pa_stream_connect_record() and pa_stream_connect_playback(): the
+ * overall latency that is comprised of both the server side playback
+ * buffer length, the hardware playback buffer length and additional
+ * latencies will be adjusted in a way that it matches tlength resp.
+ * fragsize. Set PA_STREAM_ADJUST_LATENCY if you want to control the
+ * overall playback latency for your stream. Unset it if you want to
+ * control only the latency induced by the server-side, rewritable
+ * playback buffer. The server will try to fulfill the client's latency
+ * requests as good as possible. However if the underlying hardware cannot
+ * change the hardware buffer length or only in a limited range, the
+ * actually resulting latency might be different from what the client
+ * requested. Thus, for synchronization clients always need to check
+ * the actual measured latency via pa_stream_get_latency() or a
+ * similar call, and not make any assumptions about the latency
+ * available. The function pa_stream_get_buffer_attr() will always
+ * return the actual size of the server-side per-stream buffer in
+ * tlength/fragsize, regardless whether PA_STREAM_ADJUST_LATENCY is
+ * set or not.
+ *
+ * The server-side per-stream playback buffers are indexed by a write and
+ * a read index. The application writes to the write index and the sound
+ * device reads from the read index. The read index is increased
+ * monotonically, while the write index may be freely controlled by
+ * the application. Subtracting the read index from the write index
+ * will give you the current fill level of the buffer. The read/write
+ * indexes are 64bit values and measured in bytes, they will never
+ * wrap. The current read/write index may be queried using
+ * pa_stream_get_timing_info() (see below for more information). In
+ * case of a buffer underrun the read index is equal or larger than
+ * the write index. Unless the prebuf value is 0, PulseAudio will
+ * temporarily pause playback in such a case, and wait until the
+ * buffer is filled up to prebuf bytes again. If prebuf is 0, the
+ * read index may be larger than the write index, in which case
+ * silence is played. If the application writes data to indexes lower
+ * than the read index, the data is immediately lost.
+ *
+ * \section transfer_sec Transferring Data
+ *
+ * Once the stream is up, data can start flowing between the client and the
+ * server. Two different access models can be used to transfer the data:
+ *
+ * \li Asynchronous - The application registers a callback using
+ * pa_stream_set_write_callback() and
+ * pa_stream_set_read_callback() to receive notifications
+ * that data can either be written or read.
+ * \li Polled - Query the library for available data/space using
+ * pa_stream_writable_size() and pa_stream_readable_size() and
+ * transfer data as needed. The sizes are stored locally, in the
+ * client end, so there is no delay when reading them.
+ *
+ * It is also possible to mix the two models freely.
+ *
+ * Once there is data/space available, it can be transferred using either
+ * pa_stream_write() for playback, or pa_stream_peek() / pa_stream_drop() for
+ * record. Make sure you do not overflow the playback buffers as data will be
+ * dropped.
+ *
+ * \section bufctl_sec Buffer Control
+ *
+ * The transfer buffers can be controlled through a number of operations:
+ *
+ * \li pa_stream_cork() - Start or stop the playback or recording.
+ * \li pa_stream_trigger() - Start playback immediately and do not wait for
+ * the buffer to fill up to the set trigger level.
+ * \li pa_stream_prebuf() - Reenable the playback trigger level.
+ * \li pa_stream_drain() - Wait for the playback buffer to go empty. Will
+ * return a pa_operation object that will indicate when
+ * the buffer is completely drained.
+ * \li pa_stream_flush() - Drop all data from the playback or record buffer. Do not
+ * wait for it to finish playing.
+ *
+ * \section seek_modes Seeking in the Playback Buffer
+ *
+ * A client application may freely seek in the playback buffer. To
+ * accomplish that the pa_stream_write() function takes a seek mode
+ * and an offset argument. The seek mode is one of:
+ *
+ * \li PA_SEEK_RELATIVE - seek relative to the current write index.
+ * \li PA_SEEK_ABSOLUTE - seek relative to the beginning of the playback buffer,
+ * (i.e. the first that was ever played in the stream).
+ * \li PA_SEEK_RELATIVE_ON_READ - seek relative to the current read index. Use
+ * this to write data to the output buffer that should be played as soon as possible.
+ * \li PA_SEEK_RELATIVE_END - seek relative to the last byte ever written.
+ *
+ * If an application just wants to append some data to the output
+ * buffer, PA_SEEK_RELATIVE and an offset of 0 should be used.
+ *
+ * After a call to pa_stream_write() the write index will be left at
+ * the position right after the last byte of the written data.
+ *
+ * \section latency_sec Latency
+ *
+ * A major problem with networked audio is the increased latency caused by
+ * the network. To remedy this, PulseAudio supports an advanced system of
+ * monitoring the current latency.
+ *
+ * To get the raw data needed to calculate latencies, call
+ * pa_stream_get_timing_info(). This will give you a pa_timing_info
+ * structure that contains everything that is known about the server
+ * side buffer transport delays and the backend active in the
+ * server. (Besides other things it contains the write and read index
+ * values mentioned above.)
+ *
+ * This structure is updated every time a
+ * pa_stream_update_timing_info() operation is executed. (i.e. before
+ * the first call to this function the timing information structure is
+ * not available!) Since it is a lot of work to keep this structure
+ * up-to-date manually, PulseAudio can do that automatically for you:
+ * if PA_STREAM_AUTO_TIMING_UPDATE is passed when connecting the
+ * stream PulseAudio will automatically update the structure every
+ * 100ms and every time a function is called that might invalidate the
+ * previously known timing data (such as pa_stream_write() or
+ * pa_stream_flush()). Please note however, that there always is a
+ * short time window when the data in the timing information structure
+ * is out-of-date. PulseAudio tries to mark these situations by
+ * setting the write_index_corrupt and read_index_corrupt fields
+ * accordingly.
+ *
+ * The raw timing data in the pa_timing_info structure is usually hard
+ * to deal with. Therefore a simpler interface is available:
+ * you can call pa_stream_get_time() or pa_stream_get_latency(). The
+ * former will return the current playback time of the hardware since
+ * the stream has been started. The latter returns the overall time a sample
+ * that you write now takes to be played by the hardware. These two
+ * functions base their calculations on the same data that is returned
+ * by pa_stream_get_timing_info(). Hence the same rules for keeping
+ * the timing data up-to-date apply here. In case the write or read
+ * index is corrupted, these two functions will fail with
+ * -PA_ERR_NODATA set.
+ *
+ * Since updating the timing info structure usually requires a full
+ * network round trip and some applications monitor the timing very
+ * often PulseAudio offers a timing interpolation system. If
+ * PA_STREAM_INTERPOLATE_TIMING is passed when connecting the stream,
+ * pa_stream_get_time() and pa_stream_get_latency() will try to
+ * interpolate the current playback time/latency by estimating the
+ * number of samples that have been played back by the hardware since
+ * the last regular timing update. It is especially useful to combine
+ * this option with PA_STREAM_AUTO_TIMING_UPDATE, which will enable
+ * you to monitor the current playback time/latency very precisely and
+ * very frequently without requiring a network round trip every time.
+ *
+ * \section flow_sec Overflow and underflow
+ *
+ * Even with the best precautions, buffers will sometime over - or
+ * underflow. To handle this gracefully, the application can be
+ * notified when this happens. Callbacks are registered using
+ * pa_stream_set_overflow_callback() and
+ * pa_stream_set_underflow_callback().
+ *
+ * \section sync_streams Synchronizing Multiple Playback Streams
+ *
+ * PulseAudio allows applications to fully synchronize multiple
+ * playback streams that are connected to the same output device. That
+ * means the streams will always be played back sample-by-sample
+ * synchronously. If stream operations like pa_stream_cork() are
+ * issued on one of the synchronized streams, they are simultaneously
+ * issued on the others.
+ *
+ * To synchronize a stream to another, just pass the "master" stream
+ * as last argument to pa_stream_connect_playback(). To make sure that
+ * the freshly created stream doesn't start playback right-away, make
+ * sure to pass PA_STREAM_START_CORKED and -- after all streams have
+ * been created -- uncork them all with a single call to
+ * pa_stream_cork() for the master stream.
+ *
+ * To make sure that a particular stream doesn't stop playing when a
+ * server side buffer underrun happens on it while the other
+ * synchronized streams continue playing and hence deviate, you need to
+ * pass a pa_buffer_attr with prebuf set to 0 when connecting.
+ *
+ * \section disc_sec Disconnecting
+ *
+ * When a stream has served is purpose it must be disconnected with
+ * pa_stream_disconnect(). If you only unreference it, then it will live on
+ * and eat resources both locally and on the server until you disconnect the
+ * context.
