Multimedia processing graphs
It is assumed that the output io area is ready when the ready callback is called so that the next elements in the graph can be triggered immediately. When the graph finishes, the node that triggered the ready (the driver) is scheduled to recycle and complete the graph. |

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. 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
or the Meson/Ninja native method:
$ meson build
$ cd build
$ ninja
You can see the available meson options in meson_options.txt file.
