PipeWire: Media Session

PipeWire 0.3.34

Media Session

PipeWire Media Session is the reference/example session manager provided by the PipeWire project.

## Access management

The Media Session Module: Access Flatpak module handles clients that have PW_KEY_ACCESS set to "flatpak". Other clients are ignored.

The module sets the permissions of all objects to `RX`. This limits the flatpaks from doing modifications to other objects.

Because this will also set the core object permission `R`, the client will resume with the new permissions.

`pipewire-media-session` implements PW_KEY_MEDIA_CATEGORY type "Manager" applications by simply setting the client permissions to ALL. No additional checks are performed yet.
