libpipewire-modules - PipeWire modules

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

A PipeWire module is effectively a PipeWire client running inside [pipewire(1)](/man/os/pipewire/pipewire.1) which can host multiple modules. Usually modules are loaded when they are listed in the configuration files. For example the default configuration file loads several modules:

```
context.modules = [


    ...


    # The native communication protocol.


    {   name = libpipewire-module-protocol-native }


    # The profile module. Allows application to access profiler


    # and performance data. It provides an interface that is used


    # by pw-top and pw-profiler.


    {   name = libpipewire-module-profiler }


    # Allows applications to create metadata objects. It creates


    # a factory for Metadata objects.


    {   name = libpipewire-module-metadata }


    # Creates a factory for making devices that run in the


    # context of the PipeWire server.


    {   name = libpipewire-module-spa-device-factory }


    ...
]
```
