What is the difference if the PipeWire socket is read only?

Heya,
I wonder if opening the socket in read-write mode would maybe allow to control the pipewire graph ?
e.g. you would only need :ro to read/write audio or video signals, but you’d need the full permissions if you wanted to do something like helvum or qpwgraph which is going to be able to manipulate the whole graph.
On the ossia score side, the features that matter are:
* audio capture and recording
* video capture and recording
