PipeWire is a service that facilitates sharing of multimedia content between devices and applications.
On startup, the daemon reads a configuration file to configure itself. It executes a series of commands listed in the config file.
The config files are loaded in the order listed in the SYNOPSIS. The environment variables PIPEWIRE_CONFIG_DIR, PIPEWIRE_CONFIG_PREFIX and PIPEWIRE_CONFIG_NAME can be used to specify an alternative config directory, subdirectory and file respectively.
The configuration file format is grouped into sections. A section is either a dictionary, {}, or an array, []. Dictionary and array entries are separated by whitespace and may be simple value assignment, an array or a dictionary. For example:
name = value # simple assignment
name = { key1 = value1 key2 = value2 } # a dictionary with two entries
name = [ value1 value2 ] # an array with two entries
name = [ { k = v1 } { k = v2 } ] # an array of dictionaries
