Detailed Description

Main loop abstraction layer.

Both the PulseAudio core and the PulseAudio client library use a main loop abstraction layer. Due to this it is possible to embed PulseAudio into other applications easily. Two main loop implemenations are currently available:

The structure pa_mainloop_api is used as vtable for the main loop abstraction.

This mainloop abstraction layer has no direct support for UNIX signals. Generic, mainloop implementation agnostic support is available throught mainloop-signal.h.
