/** \mainpage
 *
 * \section intro_sec Introduction
 * 
 * This document describes the client API for the polypaudio 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
 *
 * \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
 * polypaudio API. A guide can be found in \subpage async.
 *
 * \section thread_sec Threads
 *
 * The polypaudio 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 the same thread they were created in.
 * 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 library code is
 * using the main loop.
 *
 * \section pkgconfig pkg-config
 *
 * The polypaudio libraries provide pkg-config snippets for the different
 * modules:
 *
 * \li polyplib - The asynchronous API and the internal main loop
 *                implementation.
 * \li polyplib-glib12-mainloop - GLIB 1.2 main loop bindings.
 * \li polyplib-glib-mainloop - GLIB 2.x main loop bindings.
 * \li polyplib-simple - The simple polypaudio API.
