* This is a special singleton object. It
* is used for internal PipeWire protocol features.
* This is a special singleton object. It is used for internal PipeWire
* protocol features. Connecting to a PipeWire instance returns one core
* object, the caller should then register event listeners
* using \ref pw_core_add_listener.
*
* Updates to the core object are then provided through the \ref
* pw_core_events interface. See \ref page_tutorial2 for an example.
