The external PA API has been stable for one and a half years now. And
I am not planning to break the API anytime soon. Of course, I am quite
sure that the API as it stands now is not the best design ever
invented (it's too difficult to use because of its asynchronous
style). I have been working with a couple of guys on something called
"libsydney" which is intended to be the definite API for PCM audio,
not just for PA, but for everything scaling from embedded devices, to
desktop use to pro audio. It's going to become the default API for PA,
but we'll keep the current API around as well, because it allows
introspection and stuff, which the new abstracted API will not.

In short: the current API is considered stable and is going to stay
around for quite a while. New things will come, but this takes time.

Yes, the current PA API is going to be supported in PA for at least
two more years, very likely longer.
