Bug ID: 480622
Summary: Add a combined sink device so users can select
multiple devices for output
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: KPipeWire
Version: unspecified
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: amanita+kdeb...@mailbox.org
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
An idea: It is said to be possible to create a pipewire device that basically
merges multiple devices.
I dont know how this is done and all guides I found where not fitting (Fedora
39 KDE).
Idea:
- add a default combined sink
- add a toggle "select multiple" on the bottom next to "increase max volume"
- if checked, allow to put multiple devices into this merged sink, making
output through multiple speakers, headphones etc. possible
I can imagine that this merged device may be prone to breakages, as IDs may
reset. But I dont know yet and I imagine it could be annoying needing to
re-apply the merge on ever reboot.
