Currently, among others, the `pipewire-pulse` executable is an
exact copy of the `pipewire` executable. Use meson's
`install_symlink()` to avoid the need for compiling the same thing
multiple times. Also use `custom_target()` so that the aliases
are available in an uninstalled environment.
Do the same for `pw-cat`. The benefit is that all aliases
of `pw-cat` are now available in an uninstalled environment.
This commit increasese the minimum meson version to 0.61.1
as that is needed for `install_symlink()`.
The reason for using 0.61.1 instead of 0.61.0 is the following bug:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/9820
* Decouple FFmpeg integration in pw-cat from the ffmpeg option; if
one wants to use Compress-Offload but not the ffmpeg SPA plugin,
it is then possible to just pass -Dpw-cat-ffmpeg=enabled to meson.
Likewise, this also makes it possible to build the ffmpeg plugin
without extending pw-cat.
* tinycompress does not need to be detected in the root meson.build,
since it is only needed by the alsa plugin.
Since meson 0.59.0, a feature object has an `allowed()`
method which returns true when the feature is set to
'enabled' or 'auto'.
Utilize that instead of the previously used
not feature.disabled()
As suggested by George Kiagiadakis, adds calls to summary() function
for each feature that is by default set to auto, so that an overview
of their effective state is printed at the end of meson setup or
meson --reconfigure command.
Currently ordering is a bit messy but tidying it up would detach
the summary() functions from the dependencies they rely on and could
be done later along with meson_options.txt re-ordering so that the
two match as much as possible.
Sends the captured data from a source directly to a sink.
It uses an input and output stream so the source and sink can be
moved in pavucontrol, channel remixing is possible and the volume
can be adjusted.

Add Profiler object and fields.
Add profiler extension API. It notifies Profiler objects with
real-time performance data.
Add module that implements the profiler extension.
Add pw-profiler tool that binds to the profiler API and dumps the
data into a log file, gnuplot files, a html page and a script to
generate svg graphs. This is almost the same as what JACK2
JackEngineProfiling does.
Use the pw- prefix for all pipewire tools. This makes the
commands shorter but also avoids conflicts with password
and patchwork tools (pwcli is taken, pwconv is maybe we someday
can make).
pipewire-monitor -> pw-mon
pipewire-cli -> pw-cli
pipewire-dot -> pw-dot
pwcat -> pw-cat
pwcat is analogous to pacat of PulseAudio which implements
both playback and recording capability.
Only wav files are supported for now, and you can use the
handy pwplay and pwrecord aliases for easy use.
Playback a wav file
$ pwplay foo.wav
Record a wav file
$ pwrecord -r 44100 -c 1 -f s16 foo.wav
