Description

Audio visualizer data from CAVA can be used inside panels and widgets through a shared library. This helps bars such as Waybar show live sound-reactive graphics without launching the normal cava program.

It is visualizer library support, not the cava executable. Audio capture can use extra CPU and depends on the active audio stack and widget configuration.
