Great!

That logic seems reasonable to me. Now, AFAICT this problem only affects
the constructor, all the other methods only have "real" default
parameters. The only solution besides simply removing these "unreal"
default parameters is adding default values for the parameters in
between (dir, stream_name, ss).

I've attached a new version of the bindings which does precisely that. I
chose PLAYBACK for the stream direction and a CD-like sample format (the
only difference is that it uses native endian-ness) as I think that
these should be the most common values.

This effect is that you can now simply create a new connection by using
"new Simple()" and immediately start playback using an int16[] array.
This specific sample format should also avoid any re-sampling inside PA.

What do you think?

Best regards
