  30  *
  31  * \section overv_sec Overview
  32  *
  33  * Sinks, sources, sink inputs and samples can all have their own volumes.
  34  * To deal with these, The Polypaudio libray contains a number of functions
  35  * that ease handling.
  36  *
  37  * The basic volume type in Polypaudio is the \ref pa_volume_t type. Most of
  38  * the time, applications will use the aggregated pa_cvolume structure that
  39  * can store the volume of all channels at once.
  40  *
  41  * Volumes commonly span between muted (0%), and normal (100%). It is possible
  42  * to set volumes to higher than 100%, but clipping might occur.
  43  *
  44  * \section calc_sec Calculations
  45  *
  46  * The volumes in Polypaudio are logarithmic in nature and applications
  47  * shouldn't perform calculations with them directly. Instead, they should
  48  * be converted to and from either dB or a linear scale:
  49  *
  50  * \li dB - pa_sw_volume_from_dB() / pa_sw_volume_to_dB()
  51  * \li Linear - pa_sw_volume_from_linear() / pa_sw_volume_to_linear()
  52  *
  53  * For simple multiplication, pa_sw_volume_multiply() and
  54  * pa_sw_cvolume_multiply() can be used.
  55  *
  56  * Calculations can only be reliably be performed on software volumes as
  57  * it is commonly unknown what scale hardware volumes use.
  58  *
  59  * \section conv_sec Convenience functions
  60  *
  61  * To handle the pa_cvolume structure, the Polypaudio library provides a
  62  * number of convenienc functions:
  63  *
  64  * \li pa_cvolume_valid() - Tests if a pa_cvolume structure is valid.
  65  * \li pa_cvolume_equal() - Tests if two pa_cvolume structures are identical.
  66  * \li pa_cvolume_channels_equal_to() - Tests if all channels of a pa_cvolume
  67  *                             structure have a given volume.
  68  * \li pa_cvolume_is_muted() - Tests if all channels of a pa_cvolume
  69  *                             structure are muted.
  70  * \li pa_cvolume_is_norm() - Tests if all channels of a pa_cvolume structure
  71  *                            are at a normal volume.
  72  * \li pa_cvolume_set() - Set all channels of a pa_cvolume structure to a
  73  *                        certain volume.
  74  * \li pa_cvolume_reset() - Set all channels of a pa_cvolume structure to a
  75  *                          normal volume.
  76  * \li pa_cvolume_mute() - Set all channels of a pa_cvolume structure to a
  77  *                         muted volume.
  78  * \li pa_cvolume_avg() - Return the average volume of all channels.
  79  * \li pa_cvolume_snprint() - Pretty print a pa_cvolume structure.
