Pipewire - module-roc-sink, module-roc-source

I have found pipewire a great replacement for pulseaudio and jack, as I use my laptop for recording and editing as well as browsing, etc.

I've been trying to stream audio over the network and it seems like roc might be a solution. I've tried to load the roc sink and source modules, but failed:

$ pactl load-module module-roc-sink
Failure: No such entity
$

I've also installed roc-git from AUR, but that does not do anything. Are the roc modules included in pipewire? I'm using pipewire ver. 0.3.38-1

Re: Pipewire - module-roc-sink, module-roc-source

The roc modules are disabled in the Arch package: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-p … GBUILD#L39 not sure for what reason though.

You could install roc-git and reenable support and build pipewire yourself though: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Patching_packages

Or opt for something like https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pipewire-full-git

Re: Pipewire - module-roc-sink, module-roc-source

Thanks for the prompt reply. I'll give a shot at building pipewire with roc, although it will stretch my current build abilities. I suppose roc support would depend on roc getting into the arch depositories, which I hope happens soon.
