+<h2>
+Starting and Stopping a Stream</h2>
+
+<blockquote>The stream will not start running until you call Pa_StartStream().
+Then it will start calling your callback function to perform the audio
+processing.
+<blockquote>
+<pre>err = Pa_StartStream( stream );
+if( err != paNoError ) goto error;</pre>
+</blockquote>
+At this point, audio is being generated. You can communicate to your callback
+routine through the data structure you passed in on the open call, or through
+global variables, or using other interprocess communication techniques.
+Please be aware that your callback function may be called at interrupt
+time when your foreground process is least expecting it. So avoid sharing
+complex data structures that are easily corrupted like double linked lists.
+<p>In many of the tests we simply sleep for a few seconds so we can hear
+the sound. This is easy to do with Pa_Sleep() which will sleep for some
+number of milliseconds. Do not rely on this function for accurate scheduling.
+it is mostly for writing examples.
+<blockquote>
+<pre>/* Sleep for several seconds. */
+Pa_Sleep(NUM_SECONDS*1000);</pre>
+</blockquote>
+When you are through, you can stop the stream from the foreground.
+<blockquote>
+<pre>err = Pa_StopStream( stream );
+if( err != paNoError ) goto error;</pre>
+</blockquote>
+You can also stop the stream by returning 1 from your custom callback function.</blockquote>
