This option may be specified multiple times. --version Show version information. -c | --config=FILE Load the given config file (Default: pipewire-pulse.conf). ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES The generic pipewire(1) environment variables are supported. In addition: PULSE_RUNTIME_PATH XDG_RUNTIME_DIR Directory where to create the native protocol pulseaudio socket.
