✨ NAME ✨

libpipewire-module-raop-sink — AirPlay Sink 🦋

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically this module spins up a brand new Sink that streams your audio straight to an AirPlay device. slay. 🔥

fr fr, most of the time you don't even have to touch this — the sink gets auto-created by RAOP Discover with all the right parameters already handled for you. but if you're feeling main character energy, you can totally create a RAOP sink manually too. no cap. 💅
