About qpwgraph
qpwgraph shows the PipeWire media graph on a Linux desktop as boxes and cables, so you can see which applications and devices are connected and drag new connections between their audio and MIDI ports.
It suits Linux users who record music, stream or run more complex audio setups and want a visual way to route signals under PipeWire instead of using command-line tools. The project is hosted on the freedesktop.org GitLab.
