2019-10-05meta-pipewire: add recipe to build the bluez-alsa-pipewire gstreamer helperhalibut_8.0.2halibut/8.0.28.0.2George Kiagiadakis3-0/+517
Unfortunately, the bluez-alsa PCM plugin does not work correctly when it is used through pipewire (or gstreamer, or anywhere really...). For this reason I have built a helper client that uses GStreamer to glue together the bluez-alsa sockets with pipewire. This helper is implemented as a patch to bluez-alsa so that it can use its internal private API. In the future this needs some re-thinking The helper is meant to run in the background as a service and it will create the appropriate streams in pipewire when it detects a new device on the bluealsa d-bus interface. Currently it only supports a2dp-sink and hfp modes (i.e. media player from a phone + calls). Bluetooth speakers need further policy work in wireplumber that is too complex to support on the current halibut version of pipewire/wireplumber.
