pulseaudio card is mapped to device pulseaudio sink/source is mapped to an endpoint prepare to map streams to card profiles Add Route param to implement the endpoint routing later (ports) Create an alsa endpoint for each device Create one stream for each endpoint (Playback/Capture) Implement create_link on the endpoint. The idea is to call create link on the peer endpoint to complete the link. Remove create_link on the session. Add stream-monitor to turn pw_stream nodes into endpoints Add a policy manager that tries to link endpoints Use enum pw_direction for the endpoint direction. We can use the media_class to determine if this is a pw_stream or not but it should not really matter, you can link any output to any input. Add autoconnect property for endpoints to make the policy connect. |

PipeWire
PipeWire is a server and user space API to deal with multimedia pipelines. This includes:
- Making available sources of video (such as from a capture devices or application provided streams) and multiplexing this with clients.
- Accessing sources of video for consumption.
- Generating graphs for audio and video processing.
Nodes in the graph can be implemented as separate processes, communicating with sockets and exchanging multimedia content using fd passing.
Building
Pipewire uses the Meson and Ninja build system to compile. You can run it with:
$ meson build
$ cd build
$ ninja
You can see the available meson options in meson_options.txt file.
If you're not familiar with these tools, the included autogen.sh script will
automatically run the correct meson/ninja commands, and output a Makefile.
It follows that there are two methods to build Pipewire, however both rely
on Meson and Ninja to actually perform the compilation:
$ ./autogen.sh
$ make
Running
If you want to run PipeWire without installing it on your system, there is a script that you can run. This puts you in an environment in which PipeWire can be run from the build directory, and ALSA, PulseAudio and JACK applications will use the PipeWire emulation libraries automatically in this environment. You can get into this environment with:
$ ./pw-uninstalled.sh
