  44  * \section intro_sec Introduction
  45  *
  46  * This document describes the client API for the polypaudio sound
  47  * server. The API comes in two flavours:
  48  *
  49  * \li The complete but somewhat complicated to use asynchronous API
  50  * \li And the simplified, easy to use, but limited synchronous API
  51  *
  52  * The polypaudio client libraries are thread safe as long as all
  53  * objects created by any library function are accessed from the thread
  54  * that created them only.
  55  *
  56  * \section simple_sec Simple API
  57  *
  58  * Use this if you develop your program in synchronous style and just
  59  * need a way to play or record data on the sound server. See
  60  * \ref polyplib-simple.h for more details.
  61  *
  62  * \section async_api Asynchronous API
  63  *
  64  * Use this if you develop your programs in asynchronous, main loop
  65  * based style or want to use advanced features of the polypaudio
  66  * API. A good starting point is \ref polyplib-context.h
  67  *
  68  * The asynchronous API relies on an abstract main loop API that is
  69  * described in \ref mainloop-api.h. Two distinct implementations are
  70  * available:
  71  *
  72  * \li \ref mainloop.h: a minimal but fast implementation based on poll()
  73  * \li \ref glib-mainloop.h: a wrapper around GLIB's main loop
  74  *
  75  * UNIX signals may be hooked to a main loop using the functions from
  76  * \ref mainloop-signal.h
  77  *
  78  * \section pkgconfig pkg-config
  79  *
  80  * The polypaudio libraries provide pkg-config snippets for the different modules. To use the
  81  * asynchronous API use "polyplib" as pkg-config file. GLIB main loop
  82  * support is available as "polyplib-glib-mainloop". The simple
  83  * synchronous API is available as "polyplib-simple".
