|
**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.

|
|
|
|
### 📦 Flatpak (Recommended)
|
|
|

Add our official OSTree repository and install the application:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Add the repository
|
|
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists pwsp https://arabianq.github.io/pipewire-soundpad/pwsp.flatpakrepo
|
|
|
|
# Install the Stable version
|
|
flatpak install pwsp ru.arabianq.pwsp//stable
|
|
|

# 1. Download the public GPG key
|
|
wget -O- https://arabianq.github.io/pipewire-soundpad/apt/pubkey.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/pwsp.gpg
|
|
|
|
# 2. Add the repository (Choose STABLE or NIGHTLY)
|
|
# For Stable:
|
|
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/pwsp.gpg] https://arabianq.github.io/pipewire-soundpad/apt/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pwsp.list
|
|
|
|
# For Nightly:
|
|
# echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/pwsp.gpg] https://arabianq.github.io/pipewire-soundpad/apt/ nightly main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pwsp.list
|
|
|
|
# 3. Update and install

## 🎮 Usage
|
|
|
|
### 1. Start the Daemon
|
|
|
|
PWSP operates via a background daemon that handles the audio routing.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Run the daemon
|
|
pwsp-daemon
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
_(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:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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
|
|
```
