Turns out safeeyes already did not show any breaks while screen sharing in KDE 5.27. That is probably thanks to #727. I will check how my PR works in other environments |

I do like this approach a lot.
It has some downsides: It only works with pipewire, I don't think pulseaudio has an equivalent to this. It also does not work within Flatpaks.
I think we should caution these issues, that this plugin may not work on all desktops/distributions/environments. But I do think this is a good stop-gap, and props for coming up with the pipewire hack.

Sorry, not ready yet
This PR would fix #644. Here I am using pipewire to check if some app is sharing screen. I verified in Kubuntu 24.04 (KDE 5.27+Wayland) that when I share screen in Google Meet (Firefox), SafeEyes doesn't show breaks.
I am not completely sure if the dependency checker is working properly (this is the first time I am writing a SafeEyes plugin). Any feedback is welcome. Some people may want to not use piprewire and use pulseaudio instead, and we cannot support them, but we should not force them to install pipewire. So, pipewire should be an optional dependency.
