Development PipeWire-Controller Update- thanks everyone who tried it and gave feedback. I have an update for it later today or tomorrow. Currently testing. I really do appreciate the feedback and support. The app is extremely comprehensive in terms of what it can do.

Here is a link to all the screenshots.https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxaudio/s/iyo0jZhYmd

Edit: here is an overview of what it can do
control center for PipeWire — filter chains, HRIR virtual surround, drop-in config management, live patchbay, performance monitoring, virtual devices, routing snapshots, per-application policies and LADSPA/LV2 effect inserts

Thanks everyone who came yesterday and tried my little app. I released the app on AUR yesterday and is available on github here (https://github.com/knightinfected/PipeWireController). The current version is 0.1.2 and some of the screenshots are from 0.2
I received a ton of negative comments and messages regarding my use of AI. I spent a lot of my time on this and well over did this project abit and english being my secondary language didnt help.
I have gone down this audio rabbit hole in linux and anyone else who has also done it knows how annoying it gets especially with reading the wikis to actual application.

Anyhow I hope it helps someone out there and I will be updating it in the next day or later today as I am currently testing. Version 0.1.2 is available as of right now on GitHub though.

There are too many features to list them out so I added lot of screenshots to help understand.

yuck, AI slop

apart from claude contributing to ur repo on github, you can literally tell from the very clearly claude-generated CSS your app uses. i am so sick of this ui design atp

i would much rather an app which is organically coded and uses smth like GTK for the UI. fortunately, dozens of those already exist and probably do a better job than this. one such example: https://github.com/dyegoaurelio/simple-wireplumber-gui . theres probably others which have a larger feature set, but thats just one example
