36 *
37 * \section overv_sec Overview
38 *
39 * PulseAudio is capable of handling a multitude of sample formats, rates
40 * and channels, transparently converting and mixing them as needed.
41 *
42 * \section format_sec Sample Format
43 *
44 * PulseAudio supports the following sample formats:
45 *
46 * \li PA_SAMPLE_U8 - Unsigned 8 bit integer PCM.
47 * \li PA_SAMPLE_S16LE - Signed 16 integer bit PCM, little endian.
48 * \li PA_SAMPLE_S16BE - Signed 16 integer bit PCM, big endian.
49 * \li PA_SAMPLE_FLOAT32LE - 32 bit IEEE floating point PCM, little endian.
50 * \li PA_SAMPLE_FLOAT32BE - 32 bit IEEE floating point PCM, big endian.
51 * \li PA_SAMPLE_ALAW - 8 bit a-Law.
52 * \li PA_SAMPLE_ULAW - 8 bit mu-Law.
53 * \li PA_SAMPLE_S32LE - Signed 32 bit integer PCM, little endian.
54 * \li PA_SAMPLE_S32BE - Signed 32 bit integer PCM, big endian.
55 * \li PA_SAMPLE_S24LE - Signed 24 bit integer PCM packed, little endian.
56 * \li PA_SAMPLE_S24BE - Signed 24 bit integer PCM packed, big endian.
57 * \li PA_SAMPLE_S24_32LE - Signed 24 bit integer PCM in LSB of 32 bit words, little endian.
58 * \li PA_SAMPLE_S24_32BE - Signed 24 bit integer PCM in LSB of 32 bit words, big endian.
59 *
60 * The floating point sample formats have the range from -1.0 to 1.0.
61 *
62 * The sample formats that are sensitive to endianness have convenience
63 * macros for native endian (NE), and reverse endian (RE).
64 *
65 * \section rate_sec Sample Rates
66 *
67 * PulseAudio supports any sample rate between 1 Hz and 192000 Hz. There is no
68 * point trying to exceed the sample rate of the output device though as the
69 * signal will only get downsampled, consuming CPU on the machine running the
70 * server.
71 *
72 * \section chan_sec Channels
73 *
74 * PulseAudio supports up to 32 individiual channels. The order of the
75 * channels is up to the application, but they must be continous. To map
76 * channels to speakers, see \ref channelmap.
77 *
78 * \section calc_sec Calculations
79 *
80 * The PulseAudio library contains a number of convenience functions to do
81 * calculations on sample formats:
82 *
83 * \li pa_bytes_per_second() - The number of bytes one second of audio will
84 * take given a sample format.
85 * \li pa_frame_size() - The size, in bytes, of one frame (i.e. one set of
86 * samples, one for each channel).
87 * \li pa_sample_size() - The size, in bytes, of one sample.
88 * \li pa_bytes_to_usec() - Calculate the time it would take to play a buffer
89 * of a certain size.
90 *
91 * \section util_sec Convenience Functions
92 *
93 * The library also contains a couple of other convenience functions:
94 *
95 * \li pa_sample_spec_valid() - Tests if a sample format specification is
96 * valid.
97 * \li pa_sample_spec_equal() - Tests if the sample format specifications are
98 * identical.
99 * \li pa_sample_format_to_string() - Return a textual description of a
100 * sample format.
101 * \li pa_parse_sample_format() - Parse a text string into a sample format.
102 * \li pa_sample_spec_snprint() - Create a textual description of a complete
103 * sample format specification.
104 * \li pa_bytes_snprint() - Pretty print a byte value (e.g. 2.5 MiB).
