/** \page streams Audio Streams
*
* \section overv_sec Overview
*
* Audio streams form the central functionality of the sound server. Data is
* routed, converted and mixed from several sources before it is passed along
* to a final output. Currently, there are three forms of audio streams:
*
* \li Playback streams - Data flows from the client to the server.
* \li Record streams - Data flows from the server to the client.
* \li Upload streams - Similar to playback streams, but the data is stored in
* the sample cache. See \ref scache for more information
* about controlling the sample cache.
*
* \section create_sec Creating
*
* To access a stream, a pa_stream object must be created using
* pa_stream_new(). At this point the audio sample format and mapping of
* channels must be specified. See \ref sample and \ref channelmap for more
* information about those structures.
*
* This first step will only create a client-side object, representing the
* stream. To use the stream, a server-side object must be created and
* associated with the local object. Depending on which type of stream is
* desired, a different function is needed:
*
* \li Playback stream - pa_stream_connect_playback()
* \li Record stream - pa_stream_connect_record()
* \li Upload stream - pa_stream_connect_upload() (see \ref scache)
*
* Similar to how connections are done in contexts, connecting a stream will
* not generate a pa_operation object. Also like contexts, the application
* should register a state change callback, using
* pa_stream_set_state_callback(), and wait for the stream to enter an active
* state.
*
* \subsection bufattr_subsec Buffer Attributes
*
* Playback and record streams always have a server-side buffer as
* part of the data flow. The size of this buffer needs to be chosen
* in a compromise between low latency and sensitivity for buffer
* overflows/underruns.
*
* The buffer metrics may be controlled by the application. They are
* described with a pa_buffer_attr structure which contains a number
* of fields:
*
* \li maxlength - The absolute maximum number of bytes that can be
* stored in the buffer. If this value is exceeded
* then data will be lost. It is recommended to pass
* (uint32_t) -1 here which will cause the server to
* fill in the maximum possible value.
*
* \li tlength - The target fill level of the playback buffer. The
* server will only send requests for more data as long
* as the buffer has less than this number of bytes of
* data. If you pass (uint32_t) -1 (which is
* recommended) here the server will choose the longest
* target buffer fill level possible to minimize the
* number of necessary wakeups and maximize drop-out
* safety. This can exceed 2s of buffering. For
* low-latency applications or applications where
* latency matters you should pass a proper value here.
*
* \li prebuf - Number of bytes that need to be in the buffer before
* playback will commence. Start of playback can be
* forced using pa_stream_trigger() even though the
* prebuffer size hasn't been reached. If a buffer
* underrun occurs, this prebuffering will be again
* enabled. If the playback shall never stop in case of a
* buffer underrun, this value should be set to 0. In
* that case the read index of the output buffer
* overtakes the write index, and hence the fill level of
* the buffer is negative. If you pass (uint32_t) -1 here
* (which is recommended) the server will choose the same
* value as tlength here.
*
* \li minreq - Minimum free number of the bytes in the playback
* buffer before the server will request more data. It is
* recommended to fill in (uint32_t) -1 here. This value
* influences how much time the sound server has to move
* data from the per-stream server-side playback buffer
* to the hardware playback buffer.
*
* \li fragsize - Maximum number of bytes that the server will push in
* one chunk for record streams. If you pass (uint32_t)
* -1 (which is recommended) here, the server will
* choose the longest fragment setting possible to
* minimize the number of necessary wakeups and
* maximize drop-out safety. This can exceed 2s of
* buffering. For low-latency applications or
* applications where latency matters you should pass a
* proper value here.
*
* If PA_STREAM_ADJUST_LATENCY is set, then the tlength/fragsize
* parameters will be interpreted slightly differently than described
* above when passed to pa_stream_connect_record() and
* pa_stream_connect_playback(): the overall latency that is comprised
* of both the server side playback buffer length, the hardware
* playback buffer length and additional latencies will be adjusted in
* a way that it matches tlength resp. fragsize. Set
* PA_STREAM_ADJUST_LATENCY if you want to control the overall
* playback latency for your stream. Unset it if you want to control
* only the latency induced by the server-side, rewritable playback
* buffer. The server will try to fulfill the clients latency requests
* as good as possible. However if the underlying hardware cannot
* change the hardware buffer length or only in a limited range, the
* actually resulting latency might be different from what the client
* requested. Thus, for synchronization clients always need to check
* the actual measured latency via pa_stream_get_latency() or a
* similar call, and not make any assumptions. about the latency
* available. The function pa_stream_get_buffer_attr() will always
* return the actual size of the server-side per-stream buffer in
* tlength/fragsize, regardless whether PA_STREAM_ADJUST_LATENCY is
* set or not.
*
* The server-side per-stream playback buffers are indexed by a write and a read
* index. The application writes to the write index and the sound
* device reads from the read index. The read index is increased
* monotonically, while the write index may be freely controlled by
* the application. Subtracting the read index from the write index
* will give you the current fill level of the buffer. The read/write
* indexes are 64bit values and measured in bytes, they will never
* wrap. The current read/write index may be queried using
* pa_stream_get_timing_info() (see below for more information). In
* case of a buffer underrun the read index is equal or larger than
* the write index. Unless the prebuf value is 0, PulseAudio will
* temporarily pause playback in such a case, and wait until the
* buffer is filled up to prebuf bytes again. If prebuf is 0, the
* read index may be larger than the write index, in which case
* silence is played. If the application writes data to indexes lower
* than the read index, the data is immediately lost.
*
* \section transfer_sec Transferring Data
*
* Once the stream is up, data can start flowing between the client and the
* server. Two different access models can be used to transfer the data:
*
* \li Asynchronous - The application register a callback using
* pa_stream_set_write_callback() and
* pa_stream_set_read_callback() to receive notifications
* that data can either be written or read.
* \li Polled - Query the library for available data/space using
* pa_stream_writable_size() and pa_stream_readable_size() and
* transfer data as needed. The sizes are stored locally, in the
* client end, so there is no delay when reading them.
*
* It is also possible to mix the two models freely.
*
* Once there is data/space available, it can be transferred using either
* pa_stream_write() for playback, or pa_stream_peek() / pa_stream_drop() for
* record. Make sure you do not overflow the playback buffers as data will be
* dropped.
*
* \section bufctl_sec Buffer Control
*
* The transfer buffers can be controlled through a number of operations:
*
* \li pa_stream_cork() - Start or stop the playback or recording.
* \li pa_stream_trigger() - Start playback immediately and do not wait for
* the buffer to fill up to the set trigger level.
* \li pa_stream_prebuf() - Reenable the playback trigger level.
* \li pa_stream_drain() - Wait for the playback buffer to go empty. Will
* return a pa_operation object that will indicate when
* the buffer is completely drained.
* \li pa_stream_flush() - Drop all data from the playback buffer and do not
* wait for it to finish playing.
*
* \section seek_modes Seeking in the Playback Buffer
*
* A client application may freely seek in the playback buffer. To
* accomplish that the pa_stream_write() function takes a seek mode
* and an offset argument. The seek mode is one of:
*
* \li PA_SEEK_RELATIVE - seek relative to the current write index
* \li PA_SEEK_ABSOLUTE - seek relative to the beginning of the playback buffer, (i.e. the first that was ever played in the stream)
* \li PA_SEEK_RELATIVE_ON_READ - seek relative to the current read index. Use this to write data to the output buffer that should be played as soon as possible
* \li PA_SEEK_RELATIVE_END - seek relative to the last byte ever written.
*
* If an application just wants to append some data to the output
* buffer, PA_SEEK_RELATIVE and an offset of 0 should be used.
*
* After a call to pa_stream_write() the write index will be left at
* the position right after the last byte of the written data.
*
* \section latency_sec Latency
*
* A major problem with networked audio is the increased latency caused by
* the network. To remedy this, PulseAudio supports an advanced system of
* monitoring the current latency.
*
* To get the raw data needed to calculate latencies, call
* pa_stream_get_timing_info(). This will give you a pa_timing_info
* structure that contains everything that is known about the server
* side buffer transport delays and the backend active in the
* server. (Besides other things it contains the write and read index
* values mentioned above.)
*
* This structure is updated every time a
* pa_stream_update_timing_info() operation is executed. (i.e. before
* the first call to this function the timing information structure is
* not available!) Since it is a lot of work to keep this structure
* up-to-date manually, PulseAudio can do that automatically for you:
* if PA_STREAM_AUTO_TIMING_UPDATE is passed when connecting the
* stream PulseAudio will automatically update the structure every
* 100ms and every time a function is called that might invalidate the
* previously known timing data (such as pa_stream_write() or
* pa_stream_flush()). Please note however, that there always is a
* short time window when the data in the timing information structure
* is out-of-date. PulseAudio tries to mark these situations by
* setting the write_index_corrupt and read_index_corrupt fields
* accordingly.
*
* The raw timing data in the pa_timing_info structure is usually hard
* to deal with. Therefore a simpler interface is available:
* you can call pa_stream_get_time() or pa_stream_get_latency(). The
* former will return the current playback time of the hardware since
* the stream has been started. The latter returns the overall time a sample
* that you write now takes to be played by the hardware. These two
* functions base their calculations on the same data that is returned
* by pa_stream_get_timing_info(). Hence the same rules for keeping
* the timing data up-to-date apply here. In case the write or read
* index is corrupted, these two functions will fail with
* PA_ERR_NODATA set.
*
* Since updating the timing info structure usually requires a full
* network round trip and some applications monitor the timing very
* often PulseAudio offers a timing interpolation system. If
* PA_STREAM_INTERPOLATE_TIMING is passed when connecting the stream,
* pa_stream_get_time() and pa_stream_get_latency() will try to
* interpolate the current playback time/latency by estimating the
* number of samples that have been played back by the hardware since
* the last regular timing update. It is especially useful to combine
* this option with PA_STREAM_AUTO_TIMING_UPDATE, which will enable
* you to monitor the current playback time/latency very precisely and
* very frequently without requiring a network round trip every time.
*
* \section flow_sec Overflow and underflow
*
* Even with the best precautions, buffers will sometime over - or
* underflow. To handle this gracefully, the application can be
* notified when this happens. Callbacks are registered using
* pa_stream_set_overflow_callback() and
* pa_stream_set_underflow_callback().
*
* \section sync_streams Synchronizing Multiple Playback Streams
*
* PulseAudio allows applications to fully synchronize multiple
* playback streams that are connected to the same output device. That
* means the streams will always be played back sample-by-sample
* synchronously. If stream operations like pa_stream_cork() are
* issued on one of the synchronized streams, they are simultaneously
* issued on the others.
*
* To synchronize a stream to another, just pass the "master" stream
* as last argument to pa_stream_connect_playback(). To make sure that
* the freshly created stream doesn't start playback right-away, make
* sure to pass PA_STREAM_START_CORKED and - after all streams have
* been created - uncork them all with a single call to
* pa_stream_cork() for the master stream.
*
* To make sure that a particular stream doesn't stop to play when a
* server side buffer underrun happens on it while the other
* synchronized streams continue playing and hence deviate you need to
* pass a "prebuf" pa_buffer_attr of 0 when connecting it.
*
* \section disc_sec Disconnecting
*
* When a stream has served is purpose it must be disconnected with
* pa_stream_disconnect(). If you only unreference it, then it will live on
* and eat resources both locally and on the server until you disconnect the
* context.
