+## Media session
+
+PipeWire is not useful without a session manager.
+
+We recommend using WirePlumber as your session manager, however advanced users
+may find utility in the "example PipeWire session manager", media-session.
+
+### WirePlumber
+
+To use WirePlumber, install the `wireplumber` package.
+
+Then, use a PipeWire configuration drop-in to autostart the daemon:
+
+```
+context.exec = {
+    { path = "/usr/bin/wireplumber" args = "" }

+
+### Example PipeWire session manager
+
+The PipeWire developers publish a PipeWire Media Session program that they
+describe as an "example session manager".
+
+The PipeWire developers recommend using WirePlumber instead of this program.
+
+Nevertheless, the example session manager may still be useful to some users
+(perhaps those who encounter bugs in WirePlumber).
+
+To use this session manager, install the `pipewire-media-session` package, then
+configure the daemon to autostart.
+
+You can use the same autostart mechanisms as `wireplumber`, but use
+`/usr/bin/pipewire-media-session` as the daemon path or
+`pipewire-media-session.desktop` as the Desktop Application file name.
