35 /** \page volume Volume Control
36 *
37 * \section overv_sec Overview
38 *
39 * Sinks, sources, sink inputs and samples can all have their own volumes.
40 * To deal with these, The PulseAudio libray contains a number of functions
41 * that ease handling.
42 *
43 * The basic volume type in PulseAudio is the \ref pa_volume_t type. Most of
44 * the time, applications will use the aggregated pa_cvolume structure that
45 * can store the volume of all channels at once.
46 *
47 * Volumes commonly span between muted (0%), and normal (100%). It is possible
48 * to set volumes to higher than 100%, but clipping might occur.
49 *
50 * \section calc_sec Calculations
51 *
52 * The volumes in PulseAudio are logarithmic in nature and applications
53 * shouldn't perform calculations with them directly. Instead, they should
54 * be converted to and from either dB or a linear scale:
55 *
56 * \li dB - pa_sw_volume_from_dB() / pa_sw_volume_to_dB()
57 * \li Linear - pa_sw_volume_from_linear() / pa_sw_volume_to_linear()
58 *
59 * For simple multiplication, pa_sw_volume_multiply() and
60 * pa_sw_cvolume_multiply() can be used.
61 *
62 * Calculations can only be reliably performed on software volumes
63 * as it is commonly unknown what scale hardware volumes relate to.
64 *
65 * The functions described above are only valid when used with
66 * software volumes. Hence it is usually a better idea to treat all
67 * volume values as opaque with a range from PA_VOLUME_MUTED (0%) to
68 * PA_VOLUME_NORM (100%) and to refrain from any calculations with
69 * them.
70 *
71 * \section conv_sec Convenience Functions
72 *
73 * To handle the pa_cvolume structure, the PulseAudio library provides a
74 * number of convenienc functions:
75 *
76 * \li pa_cvolume_valid() - Tests if a pa_cvolume structure is valid.
77 * \li pa_cvolume_equal() - Tests if two pa_cvolume structures are identical.
78 * \li pa_cvolume_channels_equal_to() - Tests if all channels of a pa_cvolume
79 * structure have a given volume.
80 * \li pa_cvolume_is_muted() - Tests if all channels of a pa_cvolume
81 * structure are muted.
82 * \li pa_cvolume_is_norm() - Tests if all channels of a pa_cvolume structure
83 * are at a normal volume.
84 * \li pa_cvolume_set() - Set all channels of a pa_cvolume structure to a
85 * certain volume.
86 * \li pa_cvolume_reset() - Set all channels of a pa_cvolume structure to a
87 * normal volume.
88 * \li pa_cvolume_mute() - Set all channels of a pa_cvolume structure to a
89 * muted volume.
90 * \li pa_cvolume_avg() - Return the average volume of all channels.
91 * \li pa_cvolume_snprint() - Pretty print a pa_cvolume structure.
