*
* Allows clients to create a metadata store.
*
* This module creates a new factory. Clients that can see the factory
* can use the factory name (`metadata`) to create a new metadata
* objects with \ref pw_core_create_object(). It is also possible to create
* objects in the config file.
* Both the client and the server need to load this module for the metadata to be
* useful.
*
* Objects of the \ref PW_TYPE_INTERFACE_Metadata will be created and a proxy
* to it will be returned.
* This module creates a new factory and a new export type for the
* \ref PW_TYPE_INTERFACE_Metadata interface.
*
* A client will first create an implementation of the PW_TYPE_INTERFACE_Metadata
* interface with \ref pw_context_create_metadata(), for example. With the
* \ref pw_core_export(), this module will create a server size resource to expose
* the metadata implementation to other clients. Modifications done by the client
* on the local metadata interface will be visible to all PipeWire clients.
*
* It is also possible to create metadata in the config file.
*
* As an argument to the create_object call, a set of properties will
* control the name of the metadata and some initial values.
