Never free a proxy without the application doing a pw_proxy_destroy. It's hard to use when proxies are freed randomly when the server removes the ids. You have to add destroy notify to all proxies and deal with the arbirary order in which proxies can be freed. Instead notify the client of the remove and let it destroy the proxies itself in the right order. This is in line with how wayland handles proxies. A pw_proxy_destroy() will now send a destroy to the server and mark the proxy as a zombie, waiting for the remove_id confirmation and then destroy the proxy. A server remove_id will mark the proxy as removed and emits the removed event. The app should then pw_proxy_destroy the proxy to free it. Leaks all proxies in the session manager because cleanup now needs to be handled by the app correctly. |

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
