I'm (slowly) writing some mono/CLI bindings for pulseaudio, with the initial goal of writing or enabling a GNOME Do plugin for adjusting the volume and manipulating streams. Since that touches a wide swathe of the API anyway, I plan to go on and bind everything. I'm trying to write idiomatic C# bindings, which means that I need to understand how everything is meant to fit together. The documentation is pretty good here - I think I get most of the API. However, I don't understand what pa_operation is good for. As far as I can see, you can't wait on a pa_operation, so they're not particularly useful for completion notification - and every call I've looked at has some other method of signalling completion anyway. The docs also say that you can't depend on a cancel call working, so that also seems a little pointless, and you can't determine success or failure of a call from a pa_operation. So... what is pa_operation good for? What will consumers of my bindings miss if I simply pa_operation_unref immediately after every call that returns a pa_operation?
