# [NAME](#NAME)

libpipewire-module-ffado-driver - FFADO firewire audio driver

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

The ffado-driver module provides a source or sink using the libffado library for reading and writing to firewire audio devices.

# [MODULE NAME](#MODULE_NAME)

libpipewire-module-ffado-driver

# [MODULE OPTIONS](#MODULE_OPTIONS)

- driver.mode: the driver mode, sink|source|duplex, default duplex
- ffado.devices: array of devices to open, default "hw:0"
- ffado.period-size: period size,default 1024. A value of 0 will use the graph duration.
- ffado.period-num: period number,default 3
- ffado.sample-rate: sample-rate, default 48000. A value of 0 will use the graph rate.
- ffado.slave-mode: slave mode
- ffado.snoop-mode: snoop mode
- ffado.verbose: ffado verbose level
- ffado.rtprio: ffado realtime priority, this is by default the PipeWire server priority + 5
- ffado.realtime: ffado realtime mode. this requires correctly configured rlimits to acquire FIFO scheduling at the ffado.rtprio priority
- latency.internal.input: extra input latency in frames
- latency.internal.output: extra output latency in frames
- source.props: Extra properties for the source filter
- sink.props: Extra properties for the sink filter

# [GENERAL OPTIONS](#GENERAL_OPTIONS)

Options with well-known behavior.

- **remote.name**
- **audio.layout**
- **audio.position**
- **node.name**
- **node.description**
- **node.group**
- **node.virtual**
- **media.class**
- **target.object** to specify the remote node.name or serial.id to link to
