PipeWire graphical audio routing tools

This cluster comprises graphical utilities for managing and routing streams in the PipeWire audio server, including device renaming, graph inspection, and connection of audio, video, and MIDI streams. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape, with only three dated entries before the index start. Traction leaders are qpwgraph, Helvum, and Simple Wireplumber GUI, each with zero stars.
