Overview</h1>
<p>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.</p>
<h1><a class="anchor" id="create_sec"></a>
Creation</h1>
<p>To create a sample, the normal stream API is used (see <a class="el" href="streams.html">Audio Streams</a>). The function <a class="el" href="scache_8h.html#a4725d83c96ddb3a4c67954bf5ec3a8c1" title="Make this stream a sample upload stream. ">pa_stream_connect_upload()</a> will make sure the stream is stored as a sample on the server.</p>
<p>To complete the upload, <a class="el" href="scache_8h.html#a892d5d35de5ec726b8fa151abd87b92b" title="Finish the sample upload, the stream name will become the sample name. ">pa_stream_finish_upload()</a> is called and the sample will receive the same name as the stream. If the upload should be aborted, simply call <a class="el" href="stream_8h.html#aa4e0c83264f3935911e6b30e6f8ef2b1" title="Disconnect a stream from a source/sink. ">pa_stream_disconnect()</a>.</p>
<h1><a class="anchor" id="play_sec"></a>
Playing samples</h1>
<p>To play back a sample, simply call <a class="el" href="scache_8h.html#adb1bf81ecef03f8bae77e5e3ab30464f" title="Play a sample from the sample cache to the specified device. ">pa_context_play_sample()</a>:</p>

Removing samples</h1>
<p>When a sample is no longer needed, it should be removed on the server to save resources. The sample is deleted using <a class="el" href="scache_8h.html#a8c5e594fd912cd5badab7804eae22ba9" title="Remove a sample from the sample cache. ">pa_context_remove_sample()</a>. </p>
