Pipewire's API implementation

• Play pw-play
• Record pw-record
• Cat pw-cat
• JACK-servers pw-jack
• pw-mon dumps and monitors the state of the PipeWire daemon
• pw-dot can dump a graph of the pipeline, check out the help for how to do this.
• pw-top monitors the real-time status of the graph. This is handy to find out what clients are running and how much DSP resources they use.
• pw-dump dumps the state of the PipeWire daemon in JSON format. This can be used to find out the properties and parameters of the objects in the PipeWire daemon.

Availability

• Pypi package
• CI/CD implementation
• GUI controller
