+/** \file
+ * Connection contexts for asynchrononous communication with a
+ * server. A pa_context object wraps a connection to a polypaudio
+ * server using its native protocol. A context may be used to issue
+ * commands on the server or to create playback or recording
+ * streams. Multiple playback streams may be piped through a single
+ * connection context. Operations on the contect involving
+ * communication with the server are executed asynchronously: i.e. the
+ * client function do not implicitely wait for completion of the
+ * operation on the server. Instead the caller specifies a call back
+ * function that is called when the operation is completed. Currently
+ * running operations may be canceled using pa_operation_cancel(). */
