Notes for setting up Snapcast (https://github.com/badaix/snapcast) for multi-device audio playback.
PipeWire as Player
To configure PipeWire as a player for Snapcast, create the file 10-snapcast-pipe-sink.conf in /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/ (or in ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/):
context.modules = [
{
name = libpipewire-module-pipe-tunnel
args = {
tunnel.mode = sink
pipe.filename = "/tmp/snapfifo"
audio.format = S16LE
audio.rate = 48000
audio.channels = 2
audio.position = [ FL FR ]
stream.props = {
node.name = Snapcast
}
}
}
]
Then, restart PipeWire: systemctl --user restart wireplumber pipewire pipewire-pulse.
