/** \mainpage PipeWire

PipeWire is low-level multimedia framework that provides:

- Graph based processing.
- Support for out-of-process processing graphs with minimal overhead.
- Flexible and extensible media format negotiation and buffer allocation.
- Hard real-time capable plugins.
- Very low-latency for both audio and video processing.

See \ref page_overview for an overview of PipeWire and \ref page_design
for the design principles guiding PipeWire.

# Components

PipeWire ships with the following components:

- A \ref page_daemon that implements the IPC and graph processing.
- An example \ref page_session_manager that manages objects in the \ref page_daemon.
- A set of \ref page_programs to introspect and use the \ref page_daemon.
- A \ref page_library to develop PipeWire applications and plugins (\ref
  page_tutorial "tutorial").
- The \ref page_spa used by both the \ref page_daemon and in the \ref
  page_library.
