+/** \page scache Sample Cache
+ *
+ * \section overv_sec Overview
+ *
+ * The sample cache provides a simple way of overcoming high network latencies
+ * and reducing bandwidth. Instead of streaming a sound precisely when it
+ * should be played, it is stored on the server and only the command to start
+ * playing it needs to be sent.
+ *
+ * \section create_sec Creation
+ *
+ * To create a sample, the normal stream API is used (see \ref streams). The
+ * function pa_stream_connect_upload() will make sure the stream is stored as
+ * a sample on the server.
+ *
+ * To complete the upload, pa_stream_finish_upload() is called and the sample
+ * will receive the same name as the stream. If the upload should be aborted,
+ * simply call pa_stream_disconnect().
+ *
+ * \section play_sec Playing samples
+ *
+ * To play back a sample, simply call pa_context_play_sample():
+ *
+ * \code
+ * pa_operation *o;
+ *
+ * o = pa_context_play_sample(my_context,
+ * "sample2", // Name of my sample
+ * NULL, // Use default sink
+ * PA_VOLUME_NORM, // Full volume
+ * NULL, // Don't need a callback
+ * NULL
+ * );
+ * if (o)
+ * pa_operation_unref(o);
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * \section rem_sec Removing samples
+ *
+ * When a sample is no longer needed, it should be removed on the server to
+ * save resources. The sample is deleted using pa_context_remove_sample().
