Running the WirePlumber Daemon
Configure PipeWire
PipeWire 0.3 comes with an example session manager that you will need
to disable and replace with WirePlumber. This can be achieved by editing
src/daemon/pipewire.conf.in
in the PipeWire git tree or
/etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf
in an existing installation:
diff --git a/src/daemon/pipewire.conf.in b/src/daemon/pipewire.conf.in
index cebded96..dee1743b 100644
--- a/src/daemon/pipewire.conf.in
+++ b/src/daemon/pipewire.conf.in

# You can optionally start the pulseaudio-server here as well

This setup assumes that WirePlumber is installed on the target system.
Run independently or without installing
If you wish to debug WirePlumber, it may be useful to run it separately from PipeWire or run it directly from the source tree without installing. To do so:
- Comment out with
#
the"wireplumber" = {}
line frompipewire.conf
- Run pipewire:
- if it is installed, execute
pipewire
- if it is not installed, execute
make run
in the pipewire source tree
- Without stopping pipewire, run wireplumber:
- if it is installed, execute
wireplumber
- if it is not installed, execute
make run
in the wireplumber source tree
