  42  * \section intro_sec Introduction
  43  *
  44  * This document describes the client API for the polypaudio sound
  45  * server. The API comes in two flavours:
  46  *
  47  * \li The complete but somewhat complicated to use asynchronous API
  48  * \li And the simplified, easy to use, but limited synchronous API
  49  *
  50  * The polypaudio client libraries are thread safe as long as all
  51  * objects created by any library function are accessed from the thread
  52  * that created them only.
  53  *
  54  * \section simple_sec Simple API
  55  *
  56  * Use this if you develop your program in synchronous style and just
  57  * need a way to play or record data on the sound server. See
  58  * \ref polyplib-simple.h for more details.
  59  *
  60  * \section async_api Asynchronous API
  61  *
  62  * Use this if you develop your programs in asynchronous, main loop
  63  * based style or want to use advanced features of the polypaudio
  64  * API. A good starting point is \ref polyplib-context.h
  65  *
  66  * The asynchronous API relies on an abstract main loop API that is
  67  * described in \ref mainloop-api.h. Two distinct implementations are
  68  * available:
  69  *
  70  * \li \ref mainloop.h: a minimal but fast implementation based on poll()
  71  * \li \ref glib-mainloop.h: a wrapper around GLIB's main loop
  72  *
  73  * UNIX signals may be hooked to a main loop using the functions from
  74  * \ref mainloop-signal.h
  75  *
  76  * \section pkgconfig pkg-config
  77  *
  78  * The polypaudio libraries provide pkg-config snippets for the different modules. To use the
  79  * asynchronous API use "polyplib" as pkg-config file. GLIB main loop
  80  * support is available as "polyplib-glib-mainloop". The simple
  81  * synchronous API is available as "polyplib-simple".
