+/** \mainpage
+ *
+ * \section intro_sec Introduction
+ *
+ * This document describes the client API for the pulseaudio sound
+ * server. The API comes in two flavours to accomodate different styles
+ * of applications and different needs in complexity:
+ *
+ * \li The complete but somewhat complicated to use asynchronous API
+ * \li The simplified, easy to use, but limited synchronous API
+ *
+ * All strings in Polypaudio are in the UTF-8 encoding, regardless of current
+ * locale. Some functions will filter invalid sequences from the string, some
+ * will simply fail. To ensure reliable behaviour, make sure everything you
+ * pass to the API is already in UTF-8.
+
+ * \section simple_sec Simple API
+ *
+ * Use this if you develop your program in synchronous style and just
+ * need a way to play or record data on the sound server. See
+ * \subpage simple for more details.
+ *
+ * \section async_sec Asynchronous API
+ *
+ * Use this if you develop your programs in asynchronous, event loop
+ * based style or if you want to use the advanced features of the
+ * pulseaudio API. A guide can be found in \subpage async.
+ *
+ * By using the built-in threaded main loop, it is possible to acheive a
+ * pseudo-synchronous API, which can be useful in synchronous applications
+ * where the simple API is insufficient. See the \ref async page for
+ * details.
+ *
+ * \section thread_sec Threads
+ *
+ * The pulseaudio client libraries are not designed to be used in a
+ * heavily threaded environment. They are however designed to be reentrant
+ * safe.
+ *
+ * To use a the libraries in a threaded environment, you must assure that
+ * all objects are only used in one thread at a time. Normally, this means
+ * that all objects belonging to a single context must be accessed from the
+ * same thread.
+ *
+ * The included main loop implementation is also not thread safe. Take care
+ * to make sure event lists are not manipulated when any other code is
+ * using the main loop.
+ *
+ * \section pkgconfig pkg-config
+ *
+ * The pulseaudio libraries provide pkg-config snippets for the different
+ * modules:
+ *
+ * \li pulselib - The asynchronous API and the internal main loop
+ * implementation.
+ * \li pulselib-glib12-mainloop - GLIB 1.2 main loop bindings.
+ * \li pulselib-glib-mainloop - GLIB 2.x main loop bindings.
+ * \li pulselib-simple - The simple pulseaudio API.
