Crosspipe

Crosspipe is a Linux-based tool developed to route audio and video streams between different applications and hardware interfaces. It functions as a bridge for multimedia data, allowing users to direct output from one source into the input of another process. This capability is useful for users who need to manage complex signal paths in environments where standard system audio or video routing may be insufficient or require manual configuration.

The software handles stream redirection by interfacing with underlying system multimedia frameworks. It provides a mechanism to define input and output nodes, enabling the creation of custom pipelines for media processing. As a tool released under the GPL-3.0-only license, it is intended for users who require programmatic or manual control over how media streams are distributed across their Linux desktop environment.
