Tom A. Wagner 5d4931b418 pw: Set media.category property to manager
This will make the session manager give Helvum full permissions even when
used from flatpak or otherwise restricted, so that we can always change
the graph even if permissions become more restricted in the future.

Helvum is a GTK-based patchbay for pipewire, inspired by the JACK tool catia.

Features planned

  • Volume control
  • "Debug mode" that lets you view advanced information for nodes and ports

More suggestions are welcome!

Building

Via flatpak

If you don't have the flathub repo in your remote-list for flatpak you will need to add that first:

$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Then install the required flatpak platform and SDK, if you dont have them already:

$ flatpak install org.gnome.{Platform,Sdk}//45 org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.rust-stable//23.08 org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.llvm16//23.08

To compile and install as a flatpak, clone the project, change to the project directory, and run:

$ flatpak-builder --install flatpak-build/ build-aux/org.pipewire.Helvum.json

You can then run the app via

$ flatpak run org.pipewire.Helvum

Manually

For compilation, you will need:

  • Meson
  • An up-to-date rust toolchain
  • libclang-3.7 or higher
  • libadwaita-1 and libpipewire-0.3 development packages and their dependencies

To compile and install, run

$ meson setup build && cd build
$ meson compile
$ meson install

in the repository root. This will install the compiled project files into /usr/local.
