NAME¶

libpipewire-module-ffado-driver - FFADO firewire audio driver

DESCRIPTION¶

The ffado-driver module provides a source or sink using the libffado library for reading and writing to firewire audio devices.

MODULE NAME¶

libpipewire-module-ffado-driver

MODULE OPTIONS¶

• driver.mode: the driver mode, sink|source|duplex, default duplex
• ffado.devices: array of devices to open, default 'hw:0'
• ffado.period-size: period size,default 1024
• ffado.period-num: period number,default 3
• ffado.sample-rate: sample-rate, default 48000
• ffado.slave-mode: slave mode
• ffado.snoop-mode: snoop mode
• ffado.verbose: ffado verbose level
• ffado.rtprio: ffado realtime priority, this is by default the PipeWire server priority + 5
• ffado.realtime: ffado realtime mode. this requires correctly configured rlimits to acquire FIFO scheduling at the ffado.rtprio priority
• latency.internal.input: extra input latency in frames
• latency.internal.output: extra output latency in frames
• source.props: Extra properties for the source filter
• sink.props: Extra properties for the sink filter

GENERAL OPTIONS¶

Options with well-known behavior.

• remote.name
• audio.position
• node.name
• node.description
• node.group
• node.virtual
• media.class
• target.object to specify the remote node.name or serial.id to link to
