The doxygen docs give a very terse introduction about the asyhnchronous mode. http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/pulseaudio/doxygen/ Basically you have to run some kind of event loop. In your case it's a good idea to use the threaded loop I guess. A good example how to use that one is actually the implementation of the simple API: http://git.0pointer.de/?p=pulseaudio.git;a=blob;f=src/pulse/simple.c Yes, the API is not easy to use and we don't have a step-by-step introduction to it.
