It can only support a single stream per * connection and has no support for handling of complex features like * events, channel mappings and volume control. It is, however, very simple * to use and quite sufficient for many programs. * * \section conn_sec Connecting * * The first step before using the sound system is to connect to the * server. This is normally done this way: * * \code * pa_simple *s; * pa_sample_spec ss; * * ss.format = PA_SAMPLE_S16NE; * ss.channels = 2; * ss.rate = 44100; * * s = pa_simple_new(NULL, // Use the default server. * "Fooapp", // Our application's name. * PA_STREAM_PLAYBACK, * NULL, // Use the default device. * "Music", // Description of our stream. * &ss, // Our sample format. * NULL, // Use default channel map * NULL, // Use default buffering attributes. * NULL, // Ignore error code. * ); * \endcode * * At this point a connected object is returned, or NULL if there was a * problem connecting. * * \section transfer_sec Transferring data * * Once the connection is established to the server, data can start flowing. * Using the connection is very similar to the normal read() and write() * system calls. The main difference is that they're called pa_simple_read() * and pa_simple_write(). Note that these operations always block. * * \section ctrl_sec Buffer control * * If a playback stream is used then a few other operations are available: * * \li pa_simple_drain() - Will wait for all sent data to finish playing. * \li pa_simple_flush() - Will throw away all data currently in buffers. * \li pa_simple_get_latency() - Will return the total latency of * the playback pipeline. * * \section cleanup_sec Cleanup * * Once playback or capture is complete, the connection should be closed * and resources freed. This is done through: * * \code * pa_simple_free(s); * \endcode */ /** \file * A simple but limited synchronous playback and recording * API.
