+Message API reference
+
+The message API allows any object within pulseaudio to register a message
+handler. A message handler is a function that can be called by clients using
+PA_COMMAND_SEND_OBJECT_MESSAGE. A message consists at least of an object path
+and a message command, both specified as strings. Additional parameters can
+be specified using a single string, but are not mandatory. The message handler
+returns an error number as defined in def.h and also returns a string in
+the "response" variable. The following reference lists available messages,
+their parameters and return values.
+
+Recipient:
+Message:
+Parameters:
+Return value:
