pipewire_python

Description

PIPEWIRE 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, with supporting Flatpak applications being the primary goal. Alongside Wayland and Flatpak we expect PipeWire to provide a core building block for the future of Linux application development.

pipewire_python controlls pipewire via terminal, creating shell commands and executing them as required.

🎹 There are two ways to manage the python package:

  1. NO_ASYNC: this way works as expected with delay time between pipewire_python and the rest of your code.

  2. ASYNC: [⚠️Not yet implemented] this way works delegating the task to record or to play a song file in background. Works with threads.

  3. MULTIPROCESS: [⚠️Not yet implemented] Works with processes.
