/** \page volume Volume Control
*
* \section overv_sec Overview
*
* Sinks, sources, sink inputs and samples can all have their own volumes.
* To deal with these, The PulseAudio libray contains a number of functions
* that ease handling.
*
* The basic volume type in PulseAudio is the \ref pa_volume_t type. Most of
* the time, applications will use the aggregated pa_cvolume structure that
* can store the volume of all channels at once.
*
* Volumes commonly span between muted (0%), and normal (100%). It is possible
* to set volumes to higher than 100%, but clipping might occur.
*
* \section calc_sec Calculations
*
* The volumes in PulseAudio are logarithmic in nature and applications
* shouldn't perform calculations with them directly. Instead, they should
* be converted to and from either dB or a linear scale:
*
* \li dB - pa_sw_volume_from_dB() / pa_sw_volume_to_dB()
* \li Linear - pa_sw_volume_from_linear() / pa_sw_volume_to_linear()
*
* For simple multiplication, pa_sw_volume_multiply() and
* pa_sw_cvolume_multiply() can be used.
*
* Calculations can only be reliably performed on software volumes
* as it is commonly unknown what scale hardware volumes relate to.
*
* The functions described above are only valid when used with
* software volumes. Hence it is usually a better idea to treat all
* volume values as opaque with a range from PA_VOLUME_MUTE (0%) to
* PA_VOLUME_NORM (100%) and to refrain from any calculations with
* them.
*
* \section conv_sec Convenience Functions
*
* To handle the pa_cvolume structure, the PulseAudio library provides a
* number of convenienc functions:
*
* \li pa_cvolume_valid() - Tests if a pa_cvolume structure is valid.
* \li pa_cvolume_equal() - Tests if two pa_cvolume structures are identical.
* \li pa_cvolume_channels_equal_to() - Tests if all channels of a pa_cvolume
* structure have a given volume.
* \li pa_cvolume_is_muted() - Tests if all channels of a pa_cvolume
* structure are muted.
* \li pa_cvolume_is_norm() - Tests if all channels of a pa_cvolume structure
* are at a normal volume.
* \li pa_cvolume_set() - Set all channels of a pa_cvolume structure to a
* certain volume.
* \li pa_cvolume_reset() - Set all channels of a pa_cvolume structure to a
* normal volume.
* \li pa_cvolume_mute() - Set all channels of a pa_cvolume structure to a
* muted volume.
* \li pa_cvolume_avg() - Return the average volume of all channels.
* \li pa_cvolume_snprint() - Pretty print a pa_cvolume structure.
