The PipeWire PulseAudio replacement

SYNOPSIS

pipewire-pulse [options]

DESCRIPTION

pipewire-pulse starts a PulseAudio-compatible daemon that integrates with the PipeWire media server, by running a pipewire process through a systemd service. This daemon is a drop-in replacement for the PulseAudio daemon.

The generic pipewire(1) environment variables are supported.

In addition:

PULSE_RUNTIME_PATH

XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
