Description

PipeWire audio inputs and outputs can be linked automatically by regular-expression rules. This daemon is useful for streamers and audio users who want patchbay-like routing that reacts to device and stream names. It runs as the pipeswitchd.service daemon when configured. Automatic audio routing can expose microphones or redirect output unexpectedly, so test rules before recording or broadcasting.

How to run

pipeswitchd.service
