Research direction

The issue is to integrate the pyrowave encoder (https://github.com/Themaister/pyrowave) into the Sunshine project. Start by examining the existing video encoding pipeline in Sunshine's C++ codebase, likely in a directory like 'src/sunshine/'. Understand how other encoders (like NVENC, AMF) are integrated. Review the pyrowave repository to see its API and build requirements. 'Done' means the encoder is available as an option in Sunshine's configuration and can be used for streaming.
