LIBPIPEWIRE-MODULE-ROC-SINK(7)

💖 libpipewire-module-roc-sink — ROC sink 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about this little icon from the Miscellaneous Information Manual — it's libpipewire-module-roc-sink, section 7 of the manual pages, and she is serving.

---

✨ NAME ✨

libpipewire-module-roc-sink — the ROC sink, the moment, the legend 🎀

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So the roc-sink module does one gorgeous thing: it spins up a PipeWire sink that sends samples off to a receiver address you set up ahead of time. Preconfigured receiver, preconfigured vibe. 💅

And then — because she's generous — you can connect an audio stream from literally any running application into that sink, or you can just make it the default sink and let it be the main character. 👑

🦋 MODULE NAME 🦋

libpipewire-module-roc-sink

that's her, that's the name, no notes. ✨

---

🎀 MODULE OPTIONS 🎀

Options specific to the behavior of this module — these are the ones that make her her:

• sink.props = {} — properties to be passed to the sink stream. all the little details go in here, bestie 🫶
• sink.name = <str> — the node.name of the sink. her government name.
• remote.ip = <str> — the remote receiver ip. where the packets are going, fr fr 📍
• remote.source.port = <str> — remote receiver TCP/UDP port for source packets
• remote.repair.port = <str> — remote receiver TCP/UDP port for receiver packets
• remote.control.port = <str> — remote receiver TCP/UDP port for control packets
• fec.code = <str> — possible values: disable, rs8m, ldpc. pick your fighter.
• log.level = <str> — log level for roc-toolkit. possible values: DEFAULT, NONE, ERROR, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE. and DEFAULT? it follows the log level of the PipeWire context. she's a follower (affectionate) 🦋

---

🌈 GENERAL OPTIONS 🌈

These ones have well-known behavior, so I'm not about to over-explain — the whole ecosystem already knows her:

• node.name
• node.description
• node.virtual
• node.network
• media.class
• audio.position

💜 EXAMPLE CONFIGURATION 💜

copy this, paste this, live your truth. it's giving working config.

 # ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/my-roc-sink.conf

 context.modules = [
  {   name = libpipewire-module-roc-sink
      args = {
          fec.code = disable
          remote.ip = 192.168.0.244
          remote.source.port = 10001
          remote.repair.port = 10002
          remote.control.port = 10003
          sink.name = "ROC Sink"
          sink.props = {
             node.name = "roc-sink"
          }
          audio.position = [ FL FR ]
          log.level = DEFAULT
      }
  }
]

---

lowkey reminder that fec.code = disable in the example means the forward error correction is off in that config — if you want it, you've got rs8m and ldpc sitting right there in the options list. 🫶

okay that's the whole page, I fear. and yes, every single detail survived the glow-up — options, values, paths, the config, all of it. periodt. 💅

sign-off time, bestie: this was PipeWire 1.6.11 talking, brought to you in libpipew...-roc-sink(7) form — you know, the page whose title got a lil truncated by the terminal, but we still love her. stay hydrated, keep your receiver ports straight, and slay. 🎀💖✨
