Vala uses the name of the *.vapi file to determine the libraries to link
against. Since the pa_glib_mainloop_*() functions are in a separate
library (libpulse-mainloop-glib.so) the corresponding objects in the
Vala bindings have to be in a separate *.vapi file.
If you are compiling an app without the GLib integration you could use:
$ valac --pkg=libpulse test.vala
but if you do use GLib you can use:
$ valac --pkg=libpulse-mainloop-glib test.vala
(libpulse is a dep of the libpulse-mainloop-glib so no need to specify
it explicitly)
1. PA uses Vala's "Posix" package (see line 23 of libpulse.vapi).
These dependencies have to be declared in the *.deps file.
2. Fix obvious copy/paste error.
3. Rename the parameter to match the C function. This simplifies
understanding what this parameter means.
4. According to the official documentation the "dev" parameter
for playback/capture streams on connection may be NULL and this
is the default. Change the method definition accordingly.
