/** \page scache Sample Cache
*
* \section overv_sec Overview
*
* The sample cache provides a simple way of overcoming high network latencies
* and reducing bandwidth. Instead of streaming a sound precisely when it
* should be played, it is stored on the server and only the command to start
* playing it needs to be sent.
*
* \section create_sec Creation
*
* To create a sample, the normal stream API is used (see \ref streams). The
* function pa_stream_connect_upload() will make sure the stream is stored as
* a sample on the server.
*
* To complete the upload, pa_stream_finish_upload() is called and the sample
* will receive the same name as the stream. If the upload should be aborted,
* simply call pa_stream_disconnect().
*
* \section play_sec Playing samples
*
* To play back a sample, simply call pa_context_play_sample():
*
* \code
* pa_operation *o;
*
* o = pa_context_play_sample(my_context,
* "sample2", // Name of my sample
* NULL, // Use default sink
* PA_VOLUME_NORM, // Full volume
* NULL, // Don't need a callback
* NULL
* );
* if (o)
* pa_operation_unref(o);
* \endcode
*
* \section rem_sec Removing samples
*
* When a sample is no longer needed, it should be removed on the server to
* save resources. The sample is deleted using pa_context_remove_sample().
