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:

• A minimal implementation based on the C library's poll() function (See mainloop.h)
• A wrapper around the GLIB main loop. Use this to embed PulseAudio into your GLIB/GTK+/GNOME programs (See glib-mainloop.h)

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.
