In order to further simplify "unprivileged" builds, add "udev" boolean,
which make installing Udev rules optional.
I.e. without requiring any ugly hacks (mktemp -d), an privileged build
capable of running PulseAudio and JACK applications, can be configured
trivially:
meson --prefix=~/.local build
meson configure build -Dsystemd-user-unit-dir=$HOME/.config/systemd/user
meson configure build -Dpipewire-alsa=false
meson configure build -Dudev=false

Add a new build option 'system-user-unit=dir', which can be used to
override the pkg-config default value.
By doing this, it becomes more practical to make a local unprivileged
build of the latest PipeWire:
$ meson --prefix=~/.local build
$ meson configure build -Dpipewire-alsa=false
$ meson configure build -Dsystemd-user-unit-dir=~/.config/systemd/user
$ meson configure build -Dudevrulesdir="`mktemp -d`"
$ ninja -C build install
For a local build enabling ALSA plugins is not plausible.
JACK needs a simple addition to the ~/.profile:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/.local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pipewire-0.3/jack
Finally, the genuine PulseAudio must be masked and local services
enabled:
systemctl --user enable pipewire.socket
systemctl --user enable pipewire-pulse.socket
systemctl --user mask pulseaudio.service
A sanity check [*] shows that nothing has leaked out of the home
directory (even though at least on my Debian 10 system PolKit still
asks for authorization during the meson build).
Not perfect, but lowers a barrier to run the development version a lot,
as that does not anymore to trash your system.

Don't build by default, update the README
With pulse-server we are more flexible and compatible and we don't
have to (badly) reimplement libpulse anymore.
As hsphfpd is a prototype and its API subject to change, this backend is
disable by default.
This skeleton connects to hsphfpd daemon and list the managed devices.
Add system service and socket in addition to the user service and
socket. The system service is started as pipewire user and group and
clients need to be in the pipewire group to be able to connect.
This makes it easier to test PipeWire in its "as-installed" state,
for example in an OS distribution.
The .test metadata files in ${datadir}/installed-tests/${package} are
a convention taken from GNOME's installed-tests initiative, allowing a
generic test-runner like gnome-desktop-testing to discover and run tests
in an automatic way.
The installation path ${libexecdir}/installed-tests/${package} is also
a convention borrowed from GNOME's installed-tests initiative.
In addition to the automated tests, I've installed example executables
in the same place, for manual testing. They could be separated into
a different directory if desired, but they seem like they have more
similarities with the automated tests than differences: both are there
to test that PipeWire works correctly, and neither should be relied on
for production use. Some examples are installed in deeper subdirectories
to avoid name clashes.

Don't use a special name for the replacement libraries but install
them into the modules directory by default. Add an option to install
them into another location.
This way, we don't need to set up symlinks in development, distros can
choose to install them where they want and/or we can use symlinks or
LD_LIBRARY path to select the replacement versions.
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

Add an option to allow the user to disable examples, this will allow to
build pipewire without alsa. Without this option, build with
-Dpipewire-alsa=false -Dalsa=false fails on:
src/examples/meson.build:47:0: ERROR: Unknown variable "alsa_dep".

PipeWire does not work without at least the basic SPA plugins.
Remove the option to disable SPA.

Makes a device with a source and sink that automatically
proxies all physical ports from jack. Jack then drives our
PipeWire pipeline from its own thread.
