+// Package audio provides a comprehensive real-time audio processing system for JetKVM.
+//
+// # Architecture Overview
+//
+// The audio package implements a multi-component architecture designed for low-latency,
+// high-quality audio streaming in embedded ARM environments. The system consists of:
+//
+//   - Audio Output Pipeline: Receives compressed audio frames, decodes via Opus, and
+//     outputs to ALSA-compatible audio devices
+//   - Audio Input Pipeline: Captures microphone input, encodes via Opus, and streams
+//     to connected clients
+//   - Adaptive Buffer Management: Dynamically adjusts buffer sizes based on system
+//     load and latency requirements
+//   - Zero-Copy Frame Pool: Minimizes memory allocations through frame reuse
+//   - IPC Communication: Unix domain sockets for inter-process communication
+//   - Process Supervision: Automatic restart and health monitoring of audio subprocesses
+//
+// # Key Components
+//
+// ## Buffer Pool System (buffer_pool.go)
+// Implements a two-tier buffer pool with separate pools for audio frames and control
+// messages. Uses sync.Pool for efficient memory reuse and tracks allocation statistics.
+//
+// ## Zero-Copy Frame Management (zero_copy.go)
+// Provides reference-counted audio frames that can be shared between components
+// without copying data. Includes automatic cleanup and pool-based allocation.
+//
+// ## Adaptive Buffering Algorithm (adaptive_buffer.go)
+// Dynamically adjusts buffer sizes based on:
+//   - System CPU and memory usage
+//   - Audio latency measurements
+//   - Frame drop rates
+//   - Network conditions
+//
+// The algorithm uses exponential smoothing and configurable thresholds to balance
+// latency and stability. Buffer sizes are adjusted in discrete steps to prevent
+// oscillation.
+//
+// ## Latency Monitoring (latency_monitor.go)
+// Tracks end-to-end audio latency using high-resolution timestamps. Implements
+// adaptive optimization that adjusts system parameters when latency exceeds
+// configured thresholds.
+//
+// ## Process Supervision (supervisor.go)
+// Manages audio subprocess lifecycle with automatic restart capabilities.
+// Monitors process health and implements exponential backoff for restart attempts.
+//
+// # Quality Levels
+//
+// The system supports four quality presets optimized for different use cases:
+//   - Low: 32kbps output, 16kbps input - minimal bandwidth, voice-optimized
+//   - Medium: 96kbps output, 64kbps input - balanced quality and bandwidth
+//   - High: 192kbps output, 128kbps input - high quality for music
+//   - Ultra: 320kbps output, 256kbps input - maximum quality
+//
+// # Configuration System
+//
+// All configuration is centralized in config_constants.go, allowing runtime
+// tuning of performance parameters. Key configuration areas include:
+//   - Opus codec parameters (bitrate, complexity, VBR settings)
+//   - Buffer sizes and pool configurations
+//   - Latency thresholds and optimization parameters
+//   - Process monitoring and restart policies
+//
+// # Thread Safety
+//
+// All public APIs are thread-safe. Internal synchronization uses:
+//   - atomic operations for performance counters
+//   - sync.RWMutex for configuration updates
+//   - sync.Pool for buffer management
+//   - channel-based communication for IPC
+//
+// # Error Handling
+//
+// The system implements comprehensive error handling with:
+//   - Graceful degradation on component failures
+//   - Automatic retry with exponential backoff
+//   - Detailed error context for debugging
+//   - Metrics collection for monitoring
+//
+// # Performance Characteristics
+//
+// Designed for embedded ARM systems with limited resources:
+//   - Sub-50ms end-to-end latency under normal conditions
+//   - Memory usage scales with buffer configuration
+//   - CPU usage optimized through zero-copy operations
+//   - Network bandwidth adapts to quality settings
+//
+// # Usage Example
+//
+//	config := GetAudioConfig()
+//	SetAudioQuality(AudioQualityHigh)
+//
+//	// Audio output will automatically start when frames are received
+//	metrics := GetAudioMetrics()
+//	fmt.Printf("Latency: %v, Frames: %d\n", metrics.AverageLatency, metrics.FramesReceived)
