If you write output applications it is not recommended to use the glib
glue coe because you don't want to run the audio IO stuff in the same
event loop as the slow X stuff. The glib glue code is only useful for
control applications and for applications where dropouts don't matter
(such as pavumeter).

If you want to use the PA for audio IO in a gtk app it is recommended
to use the trheaded mainloop api to spawn a seperate event loop thread.
