    764  active PortAudio stream.
    765 
    766  When a stream is running, PortAudio calls the stream callback periodically.
    767  The callback function is responsible for processing buffers of audio samples 
    768  passed via the input and output parameters.
    769 
    770  The PortAudio stream callback runs at very high or real-time priority.
    771  It is required to consistently meet its time deadlines. Do not allocate 
    772  memory, access the file system, call library functions or call other functions 
    773  from the stream callback that may block or take an unpredictable amount of
    774  time to complete.
    775 
    776  In order for a stream to maintain glitch-free operation the callback
    777  must consume and return audio data faster than it is recorded and/or
    778  played. PortAudio anticipates that each callback invocation may execute for 
    779  a duration approaching the duration of frameCount audio frames at the stream 
    780  sample rate. It is reasonable to expect to be able to utilise 70% or more of
    781  the available CPU time in the PortAudio callback. However, due to buffer size 
    782  adaption and other factors, not all host APIs are able to guarantee audio 
    783  stability under heavy CPU load with arbitrary fixed callback buffer sizes. 
    784  When high callback CPU utilisation is required the most robust behavior 
    785  can be achieved by using paFramesPerBufferUnspecified as the 
    786  Pa_OpenStream() framesPerBuffer parameter.

    812  The stream callback should return one of the values in the
    813  ::PaStreamCallbackResult enumeration. To ensure that the callback continues
    814  to be called, it should return paContinue (0). Either paComplete or paAbort
    815  can be returned to finish stream processing, after either of these values is
    816  returned the callback will not be called again. If paAbort is returned the
    817  stream will finish as soon as possible. If paComplete is returned, the stream
    818  will continue until all buffers generated by the callback have been played.
    819  This may be useful in applications such as soundfile players where a specific
    820  duration of output is required. However, it is not necessary to utilize this
    821  mechanism as Pa_StopStream(), Pa_AbortStream() or Pa_CloseStream() can also
