Rohrkabel is a C++23 wrapper around the pipewire-api that embraces RAII and Coroutines.
As of writing this, only a portion of the pipewire-api has been wrapped. However, this library easily allows to access the underlying wrapped objects and also allows to wrap existing pipewire objects without taking over their lifetime.
More portions of the pipewire-api will be wrapped based on user demand or (in-house) downstream (Soundux, venmic) demand.

The pw_main_loop is not thread-safe, but supplies a special loop implementation meant for threaded-usage. However said special loop is cumbersome to deal with, especially from a RAII perspective, thus rohrkabel uses a different, channel-based approach inspired by pipewire-rs.
The channel based approach greatly simplifies working with rohrkabel in multi-threaded environments.
