class Server(object):
    """
    Main processing audio loop callback handler.

    The Server object handles all communications with Portaudio and
    Portmidi. It keeps track of all audio streams created as well as
    connections between them.

    An instance of the Server must be booted before defining any
    signal processing chain.

    :Args:

        sr: int, optional
            Sampling rate used by Portaudio and the Server to compute samples.
            Defaults to 44100.
        nchnls: int, optional
            Number of output channels. The number of input channels will be the
            same if `ichnls` argument is not defined. Defaults to 2.
        buffersize: int, optional
            Number of samples that Portaudio will request from the callback loop.
            Defaults to 256.

            This value has an impact on CPU use (a small buffer size is harder
            to compute) and on the latency of the system.

            Latency is `buffer size / sampling rate` in seconds.
        duplex: int {0, 1}, optional
            Input - output mode. 0 is output only and 1 is both ways.
            Defaults to 1.
        audio: string {'portaudio', 'pa', 'jack', 'coreaudio', 'offline', 'offline_nb', 'embedded'}, optional
            Audio backend to use. 'pa' is equivalent to 'portaudio'. Default is 'portaudio'.

            'offline' save the audio output in a soundfile as fast as possible in blocking mode,

            ie. the main program doesn't respond until the end of the computation.

            'offline_nb' save the audio output in a soundfile as fast as possible in non-blocking
            mode,

            ie. the computation is executed in a separated thread, allowing the program to
            respond while the computation goes on.

            It is the responsibility of the user to make sure that the program doesn't exit before
            the computation is done.

            'embedded' should be used when pyo is embedded inside an host environment via its C api.

            If 'jack' is selected but jackd is not already started when the program is executed, pyo
            will ask jack to start in the background. Note that pyo never ask jack to close. It is
            the user's responsability to manage the audio configuration of its system.
        jackname: string, optional
            Name of jack client. Defaults to 'pyo'
        ichnls: int, optional
            Number of input channels if different of output channels. If None (default), ichnls = nchnls.
        winhost: string, optional
            Under Windows, pyo's Server will try to use the default devices of the given host.
            This behaviour can be changed with the SetXXXDevice methods.
        midi: string {'portmidi', 'pm', 'jack'}, optional
            Midi backend to use. 'pm' is equivalent to 'portmidi'. Default is 'portmidi'.

            If 'jack' is selected but jackd is not already started when the program is executed, pyo
            will ask jack to start in the background. Note that pyo never ask jack to close. It is
            the user's responsability to manage the audio/midi configuration of its system.

    .. note::

        The MIDI event buffer is emptied at the end of each processing
        block. So, for events to be processed, addMidiEvent should be
        called at the beginning of the block. If you use audio objects
