  Description     : xRDP module for the PipeWire sound server

This module allows xrdp to generate sound on a pipewire-based system.

A known user of xrdp is the MS Hyper-V virtual machines, when running in
so-called "Enhanced Session Mode" or ESM for short. ESM means that user
access their VM over xRDP. In this mode, if the Linux guest uses
Pipewire, then we need an additional xRDP module for the sound.

Discussions show that there's interest from PipeWire upstream to include
such a module [1]. So hopefully, the package pipewire-module-xrdp that
I'm proposing here is only temporary.

I plan to maintain this package with the Utopia team (which already
maintains pipewire), and I'd be happy to get a round of review from
them.
