Detailed Description

A collection of keys that are used to add extra information on objects.

Keys that start with "pipewire." are in general set-once and then read-only. They are usually used for security sensitive information that needs to be fixed.

Properties from other objects can also appear. This usually suggests some sort of parent/child or owner/owned relationship.
