Subject: [bug#63863] [PATCH v4 0/1] gnu: home: Add support for home-pipewire-service
Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2023 08:41:11 -0400

This patch iteration adds some more documentation. Specifically:

1) Explain why we need the Shepherd to start services,
2) document the Shepherd services started,
3) flesh out the JACK and PulseAudio emulation bits, and,
4) use @subsubheading to separate the PulseAudio RTP stuff from the
PipeWire stuff.

Regarding point 3, I looked at existing home-service documentation,
and used the style found in the shells section of the manual, rather
than trying to group everything under the @defvar for the
service-type, as is done in other parts (such as desktop services).

I did this because the sections in the sound services are more
verbose, so I felt it read better with @subsubheading where more
disparate topics could be synthesized into a more cohesive narrative
structure, leaving @defvar to explain the variables themselves. Also,
it meant I wouldn't have to make any major changes to the existing
PulseAudio RTP section, which I didn't write, and have only lightly
used.
