It can only support a single stream per 40 * connection and has no handling of complex features like events, channel 41 * mappings and volume control. It is, however, very simple to use and 42 * quite sufficent for many programs. 43 * 44 * \section conn_sec Connecting 45 * 46 * The first step before using the sound system is to connect to the 47 * server. This is normally done this way: 48 * 49 * \code 50 * pa_simple *s; 51 * pa_sample_spec ss; 52 * 53 * ss.format = PA_SAMPLE_S16NE; 54 * ss.channels = 2; 55 * ss.rate = 44100; 56 * 57 * s = pa_simple_new(NULL, // Use the default server. 58 * "Fooapp", // Our application's name. 59 * PA_STREAM_PLAYBACK, 60 * NULL, // Use the default device. 61 * "Music", // Description of our stream. 62 * &ss, // Our sample format. 63 * NULL, // Use default channel map 64 * NULL, // Use default buffering attributes. 65 * NULL, // Ignore error code. 66 * ); 67 * \endcode 68 * 69 * At this point a connected object is returned, or NULL if there was a 70 * problem connecting. 71 * 72 * \section transfer_sec Transferring data 73 * 74 * Once the connection is established to the server, data can start flowing. 75 * Using the connection is very similar to the normal read() and write() 76 * system calls. The main difference is that they're call pa_simple_read() 77 * and pa_simple_write(). Note that these operations always block. 78 * 79 * \section ctrl_sec Buffer control 80 * 81 * If a playback stream is used then a few other operations are available: 82 * 83 * \li pa_simple_drain() - Will wait for all sent data to finish playing. 84 * \li pa_simple_flush() - Will throw away all data currently in buffers. 85 * \li pa_simple_get_playback_latency() - Will return the total latency of 86 * the playback pipeline. 87 * 88 * \section cleanup_sec Cleanup 89 * 90 * Once playback or capture is complete, the connection should be closed 91 * and resources freed. This is done through: 92 * 93 * \code 94 * pa_simple_free(s); 95 * \endcode 96 */ 97 98 /** \file 99 * A simple but limited synchronous playback and recording 100 * API.
