One of the things that bothers me about Pipewire, is that the protocol to communicate with it is undocumented -- only the reference C implementation exists.
On top of that, language bindings don't expose a lot of things. Like whether a node is muted or not.
I tried to write a tiny widget to show whether my mic is muted on not on my statusbar -- short of reverse engineering the C implementation, there's no simple way to do it.
What worries me is that we're building so much on top of something undocumented. If the devs decide to move on, what'll happen?
