# PipeWire Soundpad (PWSP) 🎵
## 🌟 Overview
**PipeWire Soundpad (PWSP)** is a graphical soundboard application that routes audio directly to your virtual microphone using **PipeWire**. It provides an intuitive interface for managing your audio collection, making it an ideal tool for gamers, streamers, and anyone looking to inject sound effects into voice chats on platforms like Discord, Zoom, or TeamSpeak.

## ✨ Key Features
* **🎙️ Virtual Microphone Output:** Seamlessly mixes your microphone input with sound effects by automatically managing PipeWire virtual devices.
* **🎵 Multi-Format Support:** Plays popular audio formats including `mp3`, `wav`, `ogg`, `flac`, `mp4`, and `aac`.
* **⚡ Global Hotkeys:** Trigger sounds instantly from anywhere, even when the app is running in the background.
* **📂 Smart Collection Management:** Drag-and-drop folders, quick search, and collapsible tracks to keep your library organized.
* **🎛️ Advanced Playback Controls:** Individual volume sliders, play/pause, position scrubbing, and concurrent multi-track playback.
* **🔌 Plug & Play:** Automatically detects when an input device is connected or disconnected and handles linking/unlinking on the fly.
* **🖥️ Modern GUI:** Clean, responsive, and lightweight interface powered by [egui](https://egui.rs/).

## ⚙️ Architecture
PWSP is built with a client-server model to ensure stability and separation of concerns:
* **`pwsp-daemon`**: The background engine. It runs silently, managing PipeWire virtual devices, audio routing, and playback.
* **`pwsp-gui`**: The graphical interface. Communicates with the daemon via a Unix socket to control playback and settings.
* **`pwsp-cli`**: The command-line tool. Perfect for scripting, hotkey binding, or quick terminal-based control.

**PipeWire Soundpad (PWSP)** is a modern, low-latency application that lets you play audio files directly through your microphone. Designed specifically for Linux, it leverages the power of PipeWire to achieve native integration without the need for Pulseaudio bridges or complex virtual sinks.
---
## ✨ Features
- **Native PipeWire Integration:** Direct communication with the PipeWire API for the lowest possible latency.
- **Modular Architecture:** Consists of a background `daemon`, a command-line interface (`cli`), and a graphical user interface (`gui`).
- **Modern GUI:** Built with `egui`, supporting both Wayland and X11 seamlessly.
- **Global Hotkeys:** Powered by `evdev`, allowing you to play sounds from anywhere.
- **Broad Audio Support:** Powered by `rodio` and `symphonia` to support a wide range of audio formats.

```
*(Note: Requires Rust toolchain and PipeWire running on your system).*
The binaries will be located in `target/release/`.
---
## 🎮 Usage
### 1. Start the Daemon
Before using the GUI or CLI, the daemon must be running in the background.
PWSP operates via a background daemon that handles the audio routing.
```bash
# Recommended: Start and enable via systemd (starts on login)
systemctl --user enable --now pwsp-daemon
# Manual start (if not using systemd):
pwsp-daemon &
# Run the daemon
pwsp-daemon
```
### 2. Using the GUI
1. **Add Sounds:** Click the **"+"** button to add a directory containing your audio files.
2. **Select Mic:** Choose your physical microphone from the dropdown. PWSP will instantly create a virtual microphone combining your voice and the soundboard.
3. **Play:** Click any sound to play it, adjust its volume, or assign a hotkey for quick access.
_(Tip: If installed via package managers, a systemd user service is provided. You can enable it with `systemctl --user enable --now pwsp-daemon.service`)_
### 2. Launch the GUI
Simply run the graphical interface to manage and play your sounds:
### 3. Using the CLI
Control the daemon directly from your terminal:
```bash
pwsp-cli action play /path/to/sound.mp3
pwsp-cli get volume
pwsp-cli set position 20
pwsp-cli --help # View all commands
pwsp-gui
```
### 3. Use the CLI
You can also interact with the daemon directly via the command line:
```bash
pwsp-cli play /path/to/sound.mp3
pwsp-cli stop
pwsp-cli status
```

**PipeWire Soundpad (PWSP)** — это современное приложение с низкой задержкой, которое позволяет воспроизводить аудиофайлы прямо в ваш микрофон. Разработано специально для Linux с использованием мощи PipeWire для достижения нативной интеграции без использования мостов Pulseaudio или сложных виртуальных устройств.
---
## ✨ Возможности
- **Нативная интеграция с PipeWire:** Прямое взаимодействие с PipeWire API для минимальной задержки.
- **Модульная архитектура:** Состоит из фонового демона (`daemon`), интерфейса командной строки (`cli`) и графического интерфейса (`gui`).
- **Современный GUI:** Построен на `egui`, плавно работает как на Wayland, так и на X11.
- **Глобальные горячие клавиши:** Работают через `evdev`, позволяя воспроизводить звуки из любого окна.
- **Широкая поддержка форматов:** Использует `rodio` и `symphonia` для поддержки большинства аудиоформатов.

## 🎮 Использование
### 1. Запуск демона
PWSP работает через фоновый демон, который маршрутизирует аудио.
```bash
# Запуск демона
pwsp-daemon
```
_(Подсказка: Если вы установили программу через пакетный менеджер, она включает пользовательский systemd-сервис. Вы можете включить его командой: `systemctl --user enable --now pwsp-daemon.service`)_
### 2. Запуск GUI
Просто запустите графический интерфейс для управления и воспроизведения звуков:
```bash
pwsp-gui
```
### 3. Использование CLI
Вы также можете взаимодействовать с демоном напрямую через командную строку:
```bash
pwsp-cli play /path/to/sound.mp3
pwsp-cli stop
pwsp-cli status
```
