pipewire...-manager(7)

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

okay so bestie, listen up β€” pipewire-pulse-module-device-manager is the Device manager extension. that's the whole vibe. it manages devices. it's the girlboss of your audio pipeline πŸ’…βœ¨


πŸŽ€ MODULE NAME πŸŽ€

the icon herself:

module-device-manager

load her up and she'll be out here doing device management things like it's nothing πŸ¦‹


✨ MODULE OPTIONS ✨

these are the lil knobs you can turn, and ngl they all end in question marks because they're genuinely questions the module asks itself, which is so real of it:

  • do_routing β€” should streams get automatically routed based on a priority list? and bestie, that priority list is unique per-role, so every role gets its own little ranking, no cap πŸ‘‘
  • on_hotplug β€” when a new device becomes available, should we recheck streams? like a new device just pulled up, do we do a whole vibe check on everything? 🌸
  • on_rescue β€” when a device becomes unavailable, should we recheck streams? she's gone 😭 do we save the streams or just let them fend for themselves? 🫢

fr fr that's the entire page β€” three options, one module, zero filler. sometimes the manual page is short and that's iconic behavior πŸ’œ

okay sending you off with the receipts πŸ’– this was the pipewire...-manager(7) page, sittin' in the Miscellaneous Information Manual, brought to you by PipeWire 1.6.11 β€” mwah, love that for us βœ¨πŸŽ€
