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