Description

Older PipeWire setups can use the legacy media-session manager to create and manage audio and video routing policy. It exists mainly for compatibility with systems that have not moved to the newer session-manager stack.

It is deprecated infrastructure. New deployments should prefer the current default session manager when available, and legacy setups should keep a rollback path for audio routing changes.

How to run

pipewire-media-session.service
