Research direction
Start by reading the linked PipeWire DMA-BUF documentation and PipeWire merge request 1704 to understand the proposed video-stream interfaces. Then review mpv's existing media input and output architecture. Done would mean mpv can both receive and produce PipeWire video streams for participation in the PipeWire video graph.
