PipeWire modules
# DESCRIPTION
A PipeWire module is effectively a PipeWire client running inside
`pipewire(1)` which can host multiple modules. Usually modules are
loaded when they are listed in the configuration files. For example the
default configuration file loads several modules:
context.modules = [
...
# The native communication protocol.
{ name = libpipewire-module-protocol-native }
# The profile module. Allows application to access profiler
# and performance data. It provides an interface that is used
# by pw-top and pw-profiler.
{ name = libpipewire-module-profiler }
# Allows applications to create metadata objects. It creates
# a factory for Metadata objects.
{ name = libpipewire-module-metadata }
# Creates a factory for making devices that run in the
# context of the PipeWire server.
{ name = libpipewire-module-spa-device-factory }
...
