    // When initializing a context, you can pass in an optional configuration object that allows you to control

    // PulseAudio
    // ----------
    
    // PulseAudio allows you to set the name of the application. miniaudio exposes this through the following
    // config.
    contextConfig.pulse.pApplicationName = "My Application";

    // PulseAudio also allows you to control the server you want to connect to, in which case you can specify

    // suit miniaudio's trial and error backend initialization architecture so it's disabled by default, but you
    // can enable it like so:

    // ALSA
    // ----

    // Typically, ALSA enumerates many devices, which unfortunately is not very friendly for the end user. To
    // combat this, miniaudio will include only unique card/device pairs by default. The problem with this is that
    // you lose a bit of flexibility and control. Setting alsa.useVerboseDeviceEnumeration makes it so the ALSA
    // backend includes all devices (and there's a lot of them!).

    // ----

    // Like PulseAudio, JACK allows you to specify the name of your application, which you can set like so:
    contextConfig.jack.pClientName = "My Application";

    // Also like PulseAudio, you can have JACK try to automatically start using the following:
    contextConfig.jack.tryStartServer = MAL_TRUE;

    // The ALSA backend has two ways of delivering data to and from a device: memory mapping and read/write. By
    // default memory mapping will be used over read/write because it avoids a single point of data movement
    // internally and is thus, theoretically, more efficient. In testing, however, this has been less stable than
    // read/write mode so an option exists to disable it if need be. This is mainly for debugging, but is left
