Separate the session manager in a monitor and policy part. The monitor manages the devices and endpoints. The policy watches the nodes/ports/clients and applies the policy of linking them. Because both now have a separate connection, we can remove some hacks in the protocol. When a remote was both the implementer and user of an object we could get in a deadlock when the user was blocked waiting and the implementator was blocked sending a reply. We used to un-busy a client when it was expecting a reply from a ping or sync for this reason. Add and use some more keys for the endpoints and streams. |

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
