Description Paul Meng 2012-05-15 09:01:17 UTC 
My friends and I are working on a project to bind PulseAudio to Haskell (https://github.com/favonia/pulse), hoping to provide a Haskell interface without callback semantics. In order to complete this project, the support from the PulseAudio would be very helpful. That is to add a callback to notify the client when a connection is interrupted or canceled. With this callback, the task such as cleaning resource would be significantly easier for us to do. We don't have to keep a copy of context->operations in the wrapper code.

Please take this into consideration for the next API revision. We know this would cause API modification, but this would really help us out from the current clumsy design. Thank you.
