| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								PipeWire is low-level multimedia framework that provides:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - Graph based processing
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - Support for out-of-process processing graphs with minimal overhead
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - Flexible and extensible media format negotiation and buffer allocation
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - Hard real-time capable plugins
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - Very low-latency for both audio and video processing
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								See \ref page_overview for an overview of PipeWire and \ref page_design
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								for the design principles guiding PipeWire.

| 
								 | 
							
								### Components
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								PipeWire ships with the following components:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- a \ref page_daemon that implements the IPC and graph processing
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- an example \ref page_session_manager that manages objects in the \ref page_daemon
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- a set of \ref page_tools to introspect and use the \ref page_daemon
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- a \ref page_library to develop PipeWire applications and plugins (\ref
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  page_tutorial "tutorial").
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- the \ref page_spa used by both the \ref page_daemon and in the \ref
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  page_library.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 |
