// Package pipewire provides a partial implementation of the PipeWire protocol native.
//
// This implementation is created based on black box analysis and very limited static
// analysis. The PipeWire documentation is vague and mostly nonexistent, and source code
// readability is not great due to frequent macro abuse, confusing and inconsistent naming
// schemes, almost complete absence of comments and the multiple layers of abstractions
// even internal to the library. The convoluted build system and frequent (mis)use of
// dlopen(3) further complicates static analysis efforts.
//
// Because of this, extreme care must be taken when reusing any code found in this package.
// While it is extensively tested to be correct for its role within Hakurei, remember that
// work is only done against PipeWire behaviour specific to this use case, and it is nearly
// impossible to guarantee that this interpretation of its behaviour is intended, or correct
// for any other uses of the protocol.
