-# Updating
-
-1. Update the version & hash in pkgs/development/libraries/pipewire/default.nix
-2. run `nix build -f /path/to/nixpkgs/checkout pipewire pipewire.mediaSession`
-3. copy all JSON files from result/etc/pipewire and result-mediaSession/etc/pipewire/media-session.d to this directory
-4. add new files to the module config and passthru tests
