#### Pipewire server, plus wireplumber and pipewire-pulse

PipeWire is a video and audio server that aims to greatly improve handling of audio and video under Linux. It provides a low-latency, graph-based processing engine on top of audio and video devices that can be used to support the use cases currently handled by both PulseAudio and JACK. PipeWire was designed with a powerful security model that makes interacting with audio and video devices from containerized applications easy. It offers:

* Capture and playback of audio and video with minimal latency.
* Real-time multimedia processing on audio and video.
* Multiprocess architecture to let applications share multimedia content.
* Seamless support for PulseAudio, JACK, ALSA, and GStreamer applications.
* Sandboxed applications support.
