/** \page introspect Server Query and Control
*
* \section overv_sec Overview
*
* Sometimes it is necessary to query and modify global settings in the
* server. For this, PulseAudio has the introspection API. It can list sinks,
* sources, samples and other aspects of the server. It can also modify the
* attributes of the server that will affect operations on a global level,
* and not just the application's context.
*
* \section query_sec Querying
*
* All querying is done through callbacks. This approach is necessary to
* maintain an asynchronous design. The client will request the information
* and some time later, the server will respond with the desired data.
*
* Some objects can have multiple instances on the server. When requesting all
* of these at once, the callback will be called multiple times, once for
* each object. When the list has been exhausted, the callback will be called
* without an information structure and the eol parameter set to a positive
* value.
*
* Note that even if a single object is requested, and not the entire list,
* the terminating call will still be made.
*
* If an error occurs, the callback will be invoked without an information
* structure and eol set to a negative value..
*
* Data members in the information structures are only valid during the
* duration of the callback. If they are required after the callback is
* finished, a deep copy of the information structure must be performed.
*
* \subsection server_subsec Server Information
*
* The server can be queried about its name, the environment it's running on
* and the currently active global defaults. Calling
* pa_context_get_server_info() provides access to a pa_server_info structure
* containing all of these.
*
* \subsection memstat_subsec Memory Usage
*
* Statistics about memory usage can be fetched using pa_context_stat(),
* giving a pa_stat_info structure.
*
* \subsection sinksrc_subsec Sinks and Sources
*
* The server can have an arbitrary number of sinks and sources. Each sink
* and source have both an index and a name associated with it. As such,
* there are three ways to get access to them:
*
* \li By index - pa_context_get_sink_info_by_index() /
* pa_context_get_source_info_by_index()
* \li By name - pa_context_get_sink_info_by_name() /
* pa_context_get_source_info_by_name()
* \li All - pa_context_get_sink_info_list() /
* pa_context_get_source_info_list()
*
* All three method use the same callback and will provide a pa_sink_info or
* pa_source_info structure.
*
* \subsection siso_subsec Sink Inputs and Source Outputs
*
* Sink inputs and source outputs are the representations of the client ends
* of streams inside the server. I.e. they connect a client stream to one of
* the global sinks or sources.
*
* Sink inputs and source outputs only have an index to identify them. As
* such, there are only two ways to get information about them:
*
* \li By index - pa_context_get_sink_input_info() /
* pa_context_get_source_output_info()
* \li All - pa_context_get_sink_input_info_list() /
* pa_context_get_source_output_info_list()
*
* The structure returned is the pa_sink_input_info or pa_source_output_info
* structure.
*
* \subsection samples_subsec Samples
*
* The list of cached samples can be retrieved from the server. Three methods
* exist for querying the sample cache list:
*
* \li By index - pa_context_get_sample_info_by_index()
* \li By name - pa_context_get_sample_info_by_name()
* \li All - pa_context_get_sample_info_list()
*
* Note that this only retrieves information about the sample, not the sample
* data itself.
*
* \subsection module_subsec Driver Modules
*
* PulseAudio driver modules are identified by index and are retrieved using either
* pa_context_get_module_info() or pa_context_get_module_info_list(). The
* information structure is called pa_module_info.
*
* \subsection client_subsec Clients
*
* PulseAudio clients are also identified by index and are retrieved using
* either pa_context_get_client_info() or pa_context_get_client_info_list().
* The information structure is called pa_client_info.
*
* \section ctrl_sec Control
*
* Some parts of the server are only possible to read, but most can also be
* modified in different ways. Note that these changes will affect all
* connected clients and not just the one issuing the request.
*
* \subsection sinksrc_subsec Sinks and Sources
*
* The most common change one would want to apply to sinks and sources is to
* modify the volume of the audio. Identically to how sinks and sources can
* be queried, there are two ways of identifying them:
*
* \li By index - pa_context_set_sink_volume_by_index() /
* pa_context_set_source_volume_by_index()
* \li By name - pa_context_set_sink_volume_by_name() /
* pa_context_set_source_volume_by_name()
*
* It is also possible to mute a sink or source:
*
* \li By index - pa_context_set_sink_mute_by_index() /
* pa_context_set_source_mute_by_index()
* \li By name - pa_context_set_sink_mute_by_name() /
* pa_context_set_source_mute_by_name()
*
* \subsection siso_subsec Sink Inputs and Source Outputs
*
* If an application desires to modify the volume of just a single stream
* (commonly one of its own streams), this can be done by setting the volume
* of its associated sink input or source output, using
* pa_context_set_sink_input_volume() or pa_context_set_source_output_volume().
*
* It is also possible to remove sink inputs and source outputs, terminating
* the streams associated with them:
*
* \li Sink input - pa_context_kill_sink_input()
* \li Source output - pa_context_kill_source_output()
*
* It is strongly recommended that all volume changes are done as a direct
* result of user input. With automated requests, such as those resulting
* from misguided attempts of crossfading, PulseAudio can store the stream
* volume at an inappropriate moment and restore it later. Besides, such
* attempts lead to OSD popups in some desktop environments.
*
* As a special case of the general rule above, it is recommended that your
* application leaves the task of saving and restoring the volume of its
* streams to PulseAudio and does not attempt to do it by itself. PulseAudio
* really knows better about events such as stream moving or headphone
* plugging that would make the volume stored by the application inapplicable
* to the new configuration.
*
* Another important case where setting a sink input volume may be a bad idea
* is related to interpreters that interpret potentially untrusted scripts.
* PulseAudio relies on your application not making malicious requests (such
* as repeatedly setting the volume to 100%). Thus, script interpreters that
* represent a security boundary must sandbox volume-changing requests coming
* from their scripts. In the worst case, it may be necessary to apply the
* script-requested volume to the script-produced sounds by altering the
* samples in the script interpreter and not touching the sink or sink input
* volume as seen by PulseAudio.
*
* If an application changes any volume, it should also listen to changes of
* the same volume originating from outside the application (e.g., from the
* system mixer application) and update its user interface accordingly. Use
* \ref subscribe to get such notifications.
*
* \subsection module_subsec Modules
*
* Server modules can be remotely loaded and unloaded using
* pa_context_load_module() and pa_context_unload_module().
*
* \subsection client_subsec Clients
*
* The only operation supported on clients is the possibility of kicking
* them off the server using pa_context_kill_client().
