+/* An alignment object, used for aligning memchunks to multiples of
+ * the frame size. */
+
+/* Method of operation: the user creates a new mcalign object by
+ * calling pa_mcalign_new() with the appropriate aligning
+ * granularity. After that he may call pa_mcalign_push() for an input
+ * memchunk. After exactly one memchunk the user has to call
+ * pa_mcalign_pop() until it returns -1. If pa_mcalign_pop() returns
+ * 0, the memchunk *c is valid and aligned to the granularity. Some
+ * pseudocode illustrating this:
+ *
+ * struct pa_mcalign *a = pa_mcalign_new(4, NULL);
+ *
+ * for (;;) {
+ *   struct pa_memchunk input;
+ *
+ *   ... fill input ... 
+ *
+ *   pa_mcalign_push(m, &input);
+ *   pa_memblock_unref(input.memblock);
+ * 
+ *   for (;;) {
+ *     struct pa_memchunk output;
+ *
+ *     if (pa_mcalign_pop(m, &output) < 0)
+ *       break;
+ *
+ *     ... consume output ...
+ *
+ *     pa_memblock_unref(output.memblock);
+ *   }
+ * }
+ *
+ * pa_memchunk_free(a);
