My AI skeptic friends are all nuts

Fer goodness sake. Eyeroll.

   Write an audio processing loop for pipewire. Wrap the code up in a 
   C++ class. Read audio data, process it and output through an output 
   port. Skip the explanations. Use CamelCase names for methods.
   Bundle all the configuration options up into a single
   structure.

Run it through grok. I'd actually use VSCode Copilot Claude Sonnet 4. Grok is being used so that people who do not have access to a coding AI can see what they would get if they did.

I'd use that code as a starting point despite having zero knowledge of pipewire. And probably fill in other bits using AI as the need arises. "Read the audio data, process it, output it" is hardly deep domain knowledge.

A 5 second search on DDG ("easyeffects") and a 10 second navigation on github.

https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects/blob/master/src/plugin_b...

But that is GPL 3.0 and a lot of people want to use the license laundering LLM machine.

N.B. I already know about easyeffects from when I was seeking for a software equalizer

EDIT

Another 30 seconds exploration ("pipewire" on DDG, finding the main site, then goes on the documentation page, and the tutorial section).

https://docs.pipewire.org/audio-dsp-filter_8c-example.html

There's a lot of way to find truthful information without playing Russian roulette with an LLM.
