We plan to use it in rt-tests (real-time test suite for roc) to create regression tests for latency in roc.
Currently, signal-estimator supports only ALSA devices. This makes it hard to use it on desktop where exclusive access to ALSA is typically acquired by PulseAudio or PipeWire.
It would be nice to teach signal-estimator to work with PulseAudio devices as well, which will allow us to run rt-tests on desktop without additional setup.
signal-estimator is a tool for measuring latency.

Implementation of PulseAudio backend can be copied, with minimal modifications, from roc. We already have it here: https://github.com/roc-streaming/roc-toolkit/tree/develop/src/internal_modules/roc_sndio/target_pulseaudio/roc_sndio
