Install Wireplumber by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -Dsystem-lua=true .. && ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
--buildtype=release: Specify a buildtype
suitable for stable releases of the package, as the default may
produce unoptimized binaries.
-Dsystem-lua=true: This switch enables using the
system version of Lua. Omit this switch if you have not installed Lua,
but note that meson will download and install
it's own version.
In order for Wireplumber to be used by Pipewire, Wireplumber must be configured to start when a desktop environment is started.
To configure Wireplumber to start when a desktop environment is
started, run the following commands as the root user to enable the
systemd user units:
systemctl enable --global pipewire.socket && systemctl enable --global wireplumber
Now that Wireplumber is configured to start when a desktop environment is started, it is recommended that you log out of your session and log back in again.
