     33  *
     34  * \section overv_sec Overview
     35  *
     36  * Sinks, sources, sink inputs and samples can all have their own volumes.
     37  * To deal with these, The PulseAudio libray contains a number of functions
     38  * that ease handling.
     39  *
     40  * The basic volume type in PulseAudio is the \ref pa_volume_t type. Most of
     41  * the time, applications will use the aggregated pa_cvolume structure that
     42  * can store the volume of all channels at once.
     43  *
     44  * Volumes commonly span between muted (0%), and normal (100%). It is possible
     45  * to set volumes to higher than 100%, but clipping might occur.
     46  *
     47  * \section calc_sec Calculations
     48  *
     49  * The volumes in PulseAudio are logarithmic in nature and applications
     50  * shouldn't perform calculations with them directly. Instead, they should
     51  * be converted to and from either dB or a linear scale:
     52  *
     53  * \li dB - pa_sw_volume_from_dB() / pa_sw_volume_to_dB()
     54  * \li Linear - pa_sw_volume_from_linear() / pa_sw_volume_to_linear()
     55  *
     56  * For simple multiplication, pa_sw_volume_multiply() and
     57  * pa_sw_cvolume_multiply() can be used.
     58  *
     59  * Calculations can only be reliably performed on software volumes
     60  * as it is commonly unknown what scale hardware volumes relate to.
     61  *
     62  * The functions described above are only valid when used with
     63  * software volumes. Hence it is usually a better idea to treat all
     64  * volume values as opaque with a range from PA_VOLUME_MUTE (0%) to
     65  * PA_VOLUME_NORM (100%) and to refrain from any calculations with
     66  * them.
     67  *
     68  * \section conv_sec Convenience Functions
     69  *
     70  * To handle the pa_cvolume structure, the PulseAudio library provides a
     71  * number of convenienc functions:
     72  *
     73  * \li pa_cvolume_valid() - Tests if a pa_cvolume structure is valid.
     74  * \li pa_cvolume_equal() - Tests if two pa_cvolume structures are identical.
     75  * \li pa_cvolume_channels_equal_to() - Tests if all channels of a pa_cvolume
     76  *                             structure have a given volume.
     77  * \li pa_cvolume_is_muted() - Tests if all channels of a pa_cvolume
     78  *                             structure are muted.
     79  * \li pa_cvolume_is_norm() - Tests if all channels of a pa_cvolume structure
     80  *                            are at a normal volume.
     81  * \li pa_cvolume_set() - Set all channels of a pa_cvolume structure to a
     82  *                        certain volume.
     83  * \li pa_cvolume_reset() - Set all channels of a pa_cvolume structure to a
     84  *                          normal volume.
     85  * \li pa_cvolume_mute() - Set all channels of a pa_cvolume structure to a
     86  *                         muted volume.
     87  * \li pa_cvolume_avg() - Return the average volume of all channels.
     88  * \li pa_cvolume_snprint() - Pretty print a pa_cvolume structure.
