It may be worth asking on the pipewire channels and mailing list how
they expect to connect to video encoders. Unfortuantely I haven't
followed the 'standard' way to handle encoding in linux. I believe there
are API's such as the VA-API, VDPAU, or frameworks like gstreamer that
can be used.

Raspberry Pi provide the encoders as V4L2 M2M devices. These work with
the gstreamer v4l2h264enc element I believe, or it could be used
directly with the V4L2 APIs.
