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.

This package contains client libraries allowing programs designed for the ALSA, JACK and PulseAudio APIs to use a PipeWire server for audio playback and recording. They are not used by default, and are currently considered to be experimental.
