Configs

Where can i find a good explanation of the pipewire config, with alsa everything is pretty st aright forward, pipewire has all kind of factory and spa and things that i dont understand how to use. what does a context module do? why is everything on the main config file commented off, i dont know what config is responsible for making the jack sinks, i want to change my default connections too but i have no clue where that is even defined. What is context spalibs and what is it for? Context modules i think i understand even then i dont understand all the modules or why they are commented off in the main config. I dont know whats a snippet i can use and what i even need in a config to make it work at its base level. Context.objects is all the way confusing probably because i cant find an explantion on what a factory is or does. I want to make changes to how pipewire function with jack but none of the configs i have looked at paint a picture of who is doing what.
