Running the WirePlumber daemon
==============================
Configure PipeWire
------------------
PipeWire 0.3 comes with an example session manager that you will need
to disable and replace with WirePlumber. This can be achieved by editing
**src/daemon/pipewire.conf.in** in the PipeWire git tree or
**/etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf** in an existing installation:
Here, is the set of changes required to disable the default session manager and
to replace it with WirePlumber::
diff --git a/src/daemon/pipewire.conf.in b/src/daemon/pipewire.conf.in

This setup assumes that WirePlumber is *installed* on the target system.
Run independently or without installing
---------------------------------------
If you wish to debug WirePlumber, it may be useful to run it separately from
PipeWire or run it directly from the source tree without installing.
To do so -
1. Comment out with *#* the *"wireplumber" = {}* line from *pipewire.conf*
2. Run pipewire.
* if it is installed, execute *pipewire*
* if it is **not** installed, execute *make run* in the **pipewire** source tree
3. Without stopping pipewire, run wireplumber.
* if it is installed, execute *wireplumber*
* if it is **not** installed, execute *make run* in the **wireplumber** source tree
