CLUSTER AUDIO-DEVICES-PIPEWIRE · 4 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2023-09-23
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.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 4 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
