Description

Screen sleep can be inhibited while PipeWire audio is playing or being recorded. This Git background helper is useful for users who want video calls, recordings, streams, or playback sessions to keep the display awake. It is run with the pipewire-audio-idle-inhibit command and can stay active in the session. Audio activity can reveal recording or playback state, so review autostart and privacy expectations.
