/** \page sample Sample Format Specifications
*
* \section overv_sec Overview
*
* PulseAudio is capable of handling a multitude of sample formats, rates
* and channels, transparently converting and mixing them as needed.
*
* \section format_sec Sample Format
*
* PulseAudio supports the following sample formats:
*
* \li PA_SAMPLE_U8 - Unsigned 8 bit integer PCM.
* \li PA_SAMPLE_S16LE - Signed 16 integer bit PCM, little endian.
* \li PA_SAMPLE_S16BE - Signed 16 integer bit PCM, big endian.
* \li PA_SAMPLE_FLOAT32LE - 32 bit IEEE floating point PCM, little endian.
* \li PA_SAMPLE_FLOAT32BE - 32 bit IEEE floating point PCM, big endian.
* \li PA_SAMPLE_ALAW - 8 bit a-Law.
* \li PA_SAMPLE_ULAW - 8 bit mu-Law.
* \li PA_SAMPLE_S32LE - Signed 32 bit integer PCM, little endian.
* \li PA_SAMPLE_S32BE - Signed 32 bit integer PCM, big endian.
*
* The floating point sample formats have the range from -1 to 1.
*
* The sample formats that are sensitive to endianness have convenience
* macros for native endian (NE), and reverse endian (RE).
*
* \section rate_sec Sample Rates
*
* PulseAudio supports any sample rate between 1 Hz and 4 GHz. There is no
* point trying to exceed the sample rate of the output device though as the
* signal will only get downsampled, consuming CPU on the machine running the
* server.
*
* \section chan_sec Channels
*
* PulseAudio supports up to 16 individiual channels. The order of the
* channels is up to the application, but they must be continous. To map
* channels to speakers, see \ref channelmap.
*
* \section calc_sec Calculations
*
* The PulseAudio library contains a number of convenience functions to do
* calculations on sample formats:
*
* \li pa_bytes_per_second() - The number of bytes one second of audio will
* take given a sample format.
* \li pa_frame_size() - The size, in bytes, of one frame (i.e. one set of
* samples, one for each channel).
* \li pa_sample_size() - The size, in bytes, of one sample.
* \li pa_bytes_to_usec() - Calculate the time it would take to play a buffer
* of a certain size.
*
* \section util_sec Convenience Functions
*
* The library also contains a couple of other convenience functions:
*
* \li pa_sample_spec_valid() - Tests if a sample format specification is
* valid.
* \li pa_sample_spec_equal() - Tests if the sample format specifications are
* identical.
* \li pa_sample_format_to_string() - Return a textual description of a
* sample format.
* \li pa_parse_sample_format() - Parse a text string into a sample format.
* \li pa_sample_spec_snprint() - Create a textual description of a complete
* sample format specification.
* \li pa_bytes_snprint() - Pretty print a byte value (e.g. 2.5 MiB).
