    pipewire-appname.patch
    Writen by Stephen Fairchld (s-fairchild@users.sourceforge.net) <- ignored email.

    There is a python module called setproctitle that works for some use cases but
    not this one so here is a patch to fix an issue where some programs such as idjc
    appear as python within pipewire and also not surprisingly, wireplumber.

    The application name comes from the /proc/self/exe symbolic link and therefore
    the modification of pipewire's source code appears to be the only recourse.

    On the client side simply set the PIPEWIRE_APPLICATION_NAME_HINT environment
    variable to what the application name ought to be or perhaps better still set
    PIPEWIRE_USE_PR_GET_NAME_HINT and also set the process name using prctl.

    Hints containing leading whitespace will be rejected.
