libpipew...ack-sink(7)
β¨ NAME β¨
libpipewire-module-fallback-sink β the Fallback Sink, aka the friend who shows up when literally everyone else ghosted the party π«Ά
(Oh and btw bestie, this whole thing lives in the Miscellaneous Information Manual section of the man pages, in case you were wondering where to find it. The page header just calls it libpipew...ack-sink(7) because terminals are dramatic and truncate stuff. π
)
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
Okay so picture this: it's a fallback sink, which means it appears dynamically when no other sinks are present. She's not a main character by choice β she's the understudy, the backup dancer, the one who only gets the spotlight when the rest of the cast is MIA. π
That's the whole vibe. No sinks? Boom, she materializes. Some sink shows up? She steps aside, no drama, no hard feelings. π¦
Heads up bestie: this is only useful for Pulseaudio compatibility. That's it. That's the niche. If you're not doing the Pulseaudio compat thing, this module is not for you, and that's on periodt.
π MODULE NAME π
libpipewire-module-fallback-sink
Yep, same as the title. Load her up by that exact name, no nicknames, she doesn't do that. π
π MODULE OPTIONS π
One bullet per option, no skipping, we don't gatekeep:
sink.nameβ the sink name. Exactly what it says on the tin, bestie. πsink.descriptionβ the sink description. Your girl gets a little blurb to introduce herself with. β¨
and that's the whole page, you ate it, slay π β¨
