\page page_config Configuration
|
|
|
|
One of the design goals of PipeWire is to be able to closely control
|
|
and configure all aspects of the processing graph.
|
|
|
|
A fully configured PipeWire setup runs various pieces, each with their
|
|
configuration options and files:
|
|
|
|
- **pipewire**: The PipeWire main daemon that runs and coordinates the processing.
|
|
|
|
- **pipewire-pulse**: The PipeWire PulseAudio replacement server. It also configures
|
|
the properties of the PulseAudio clients connecting to it.
|
|
|
|
- **wireplumber**: Most configuration of devices is performed by the session manager.
|
|
It typically loads ALSA and other devices and configures the profiles, port volumes and more.
|
|
The session manager also configures new clients and links them to the targets, as configured
|
|
in the session manager policy.
|
|
|
|
- **PipeWire clients**: Each native PipeWire client also loads a configuration file.
|
|
Emulated JACK client also have separate configuration.
