//! # Overview
//!
//! Sinks, sources, sink inputs, source outputs and samples can all have their own volumes. To deal
//! with these, The PulseAudio library contains a number of functions that ease handling.
//!
//! The basic volume type in PulseAudio is the [`Volume`] type. Most of the time, applications will
//! use the aggregated [`CVolume`] structure that can store the volume of all channels at once.
//!
//! Volumes commonly span between muted (0%), and normal (100%). It is possible to set volumes to
//! higher than 100%, but clipping might occur.
//!
//! There is no single well-defined meaning attached to the 100% volume for a sink input. In fact,
//! it depends on the server configuration. With flat volumes enabled, it means the maximum volume
//! that the sound hardware is capable of, which is usually so high that you absolutely must not set
//! sink input volume to 100% unless the the user explicitly requests that (note that usually you
//! shouldn't set the volume anyway if the user doesn't explicitly request it, instead, let
//! PulseAudio decide the volume for the sink input). With flat volumes disabled the sink input
//! volume is relative to the sink volume, so 100% sink input volume means that the sink input is
//! played at the current sink volume level. In this case 100% is often a good default volume for a
//! sink input, although you still should let PulseAudio decide the default volume. It is possible
//! to figure out whether flat volume mode is in effect for a given sink by calling
//! [`::context::introspect::Introspector::get_sink_info_by_name`].
//!
//! # Calculations
//!
//! The volumes in PulseAudio are cubic in nature and applications shouldn't perform calculations
//! with them directly. Instead, they should be converted to and from either dB or a linear scale:
//!
//! * dB: [`sw_volume_from_db`], [`sw_volume_to_db`]
//! * Linear: [`sw_volume_from_linear`], [`sw_volume_to_linear`]
//!
//! For simple multiplication, [`sw_volume_multiply`] and [`CVolume::sw_multiply`] can be used.
//!
//! It's often unknown what scale hardware volumes relate to. Don't use the above functions on sink
//! and source volumes, unless the sink or source in question has the
//! [`::def::sink_flags::DECIBEL_VOLUME`] or [`::def::source_flags::DECIBEL_VOLUME`] flag set. The
//! conversion functions are rarely needed anyway, most of the time it's sufficient to treat all
//! volumes as opaque with a range from [`VOLUME_MUTED`] \(0%) to [`VOLUME_NORM`] \(100%).
