Wim Taymans 738603fd04 stream: Align with pw_filter
Remove some of the unused states in pw_stream. The app can know the
state by following the format and buffer events.

Make it possible to be notified of io are updates. This should make it
possible to follow the transport etc.

Make it possible to be notified of any param changes.

Rename finish_format to update_params because that is what it does.
Make this work in the same was as the filter: updating the params
removes all old params of the types and installs the new ones.

Don't get the Props and PropInfo from the node proxy, instead get them
directly from the adapter that we have locally. Update the controls
directly on the adapter instead of going to the server first.

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
