/** \mainpage
 *
 * \section intro_sec Introduction
 *
 * This document describes the client API for the PulseAudio sound
 * server. The API comes in two flavours to accommodate different styles
 * of applications and different needs in complexity:
 *
 * \li The complete but somewhat complicated to use asynchronous API
 * \li The simplified, easy to use, but limited synchronous API
 *
 * All strings in PulseAudio are in the UTF-8 encoding, regardless of current
 * locale. Some functions will filter invalid sequences from the string, some
 * will simply fail. To ensure reliable behaviour, make sure everything you
 * pass to the API is already in UTF-8.

 * \section simple_sec Simple API
 *
 * Use this if you develop your program in synchronous style and just
 * need a way to play or record data on the sound server. See
 * \subpage simple for more details.
 *
 * \section async_sec Asynchronous API
 *
 * Use this if you develop your programs in asynchronous, event loop
 * based style or if you want to use the advanced features of the
 * PulseAudio API. A guide can be found in \subpage async.
 *
 * By using the built-in threaded main loop, it is possible to achieve a
 * pseudo-synchronous API, which can be useful in synchronous applications
 * where the simple API is insufficient. See the \ref async page for
 * details.
 *
 * \section thread_sec Threads
 *
 * The PulseAudio client libraries are not designed to be directly
 * thread-safe. They are however designed to be reentrant and
 * threads-aware.
 *
 * To use the libraries in a threaded environment, you must assure that
 * all objects are only used in one thread at a time. Normally, this means
 * that all objects belonging to a single context must be accessed from the
 * same thread.
 *
 * The included main loop implementation is also not thread safe. Take care
 * to make sure event objects are not manipulated when any other code is
 * using the main loop.
 *
 * \section error_sec Error Handling
 *
 * Every function should explicitly document how errors are reported to
 * the caller. Unfortunately, currently a lot of that documentation is
 * missing. Here is an overview of the general conventions used.
 *
 * The PulseAudio API indicates error conditions by returning a negative
 * integer value or a NULL pointer. On success, zero or a positive integer
 * value or a valid pointer is returned.
 *
 * Functions of the \ref simple generally return -1 or NULL on failure and
 * can optionally store an error code (see ::pa_error_code) using a pointer
 * argument.
 *
 * Functions of the \ref async return an negative error code or NULL on
 * failure (see ::pa_error_code). In the later case, pa_context_errno()
 * can be used to obtain the error code of the last failed operation.
 *
 * An error code can be turned into a human readable message using
 * pa_strerror().
 *
 * \section logging_sec Logging
 *
 * You can configure different logging parameters for the PulseAudio client
 * libraries. The following environment variables are recognized:
 *
 *  - `PULSE_LOG`: Maximum log level required. Bigger values result in a
 *     more verbose logging output. The following values are recognized:
 *     + `0`: Error messages
 *     + `1`: Warning messages
 *     + `2`: Notice messages
 *     + `3`: Info messages
 *     + `4`: Debug messages
 *  - `PULSE_LOG_SYSLOG`: If defined, force all client libraries to log
 *     their output using the syslog(3) mechanism. Default behavior is to
 *     log all output to stderr.
 *  - `PULSE_LOG_COLORS`: If defined, enables colored logging output.
 *  - `PULSE_LOG_TIME`: If defined, include timestamps with each message.
 *  - `PULSE_LOG_FILE`: If defined, include each message originating file
 *     name.
 *  - `PULSE_LOG_META`: If defined, include each message originating file
 *     name and path relative to the PulseAudio source tree root.
 *  - `PULSE_LOG_LEVEL`: If defined, include a log level prefix with each
 *     message. Respectively, the prefixes "E", "W", "N", "I", "D" stands
 *     for Error, Warning, Notice, Info, and Debugging.
 *  - `PULSE_LOG_BACKTRACE`: Number of functions to display in the backtrace.
 *     If this variable is not defined, or has a value of zero, no backtrace
 *     is shown.
 *  - `PULSE_LOG_BACKTRACE_SKIP`: Number of backtrace levels to skip, from
 *     the function printing the log message downwards.
 *  - `PULSE_LOG_NO_RATE_LIMIT`: If defined, do not rate limit the logging
 *     output. Rate limiting skips certain log messages when their frequency
 *     is considered too high.
 *
 * \section pkgconfig pkg-config
 *
 * The PulseAudio libraries provide pkg-config snippets for the different
 * modules:
 *
 * \li libpulse - The asynchronous API and the internal main loop implementation.
 * \li libpulse-mainloop-glib - GLIB 2.x main loop bindings.
 * \li libpulse-simple - The simple PulseAudio API.
