 * \section intro_sec Introduction
 * 
 * This document describes the client API for the polypaudio sound
 * server. The API comes in two flavours:
 * 
 * \li The complete but somewhat complicated to use asynchronous API
 * \li And the simplified, easy to use, but limited synchronous API
 *
 * The polypaudio client libraries are thread safe as long as all
 * objects created by any library function are accessed from the thread
 * that created them only.
 * 
 * \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
 * \ref polyplib-simple.h for more details.
 *
 * \section async_api Asynchronous API
 *
 * Use this if you develop your programs in asynchronous, main loop
 * based style or want to use advanced features of the polypaudio
 * API. A good starting point is \ref polyplib-context.h
 *
 * The asynchronous API relies on an abstract main loop API that is
 * described in \ref mainloop-api.h. Two distinct implementations are
 * available:
 * 
 * \li \ref mainloop.h: a minimal but fast implementation based on poll()
 * \li \ref glib-mainloop.h: a wrapper around GLIB's main loop
 *
 * UNIX signals may be hooked to a main loop using the functions from
 * \ref mainloop-signal.h
 *
 * \section pkgconfig pkg-config
 *
 * The polypaudio libraries provide pkg-config snippets for the different modules. To use the
 * asynchronous API use "polyplib" as pkg-config file. GLIB main loop
 * support is available as "polyplib-glib-mainloop". The simple
 * synchronous API is available as "polyplib-simple".
