Looks like it uses libsox internally. You can also use command-line SoX utilities to get the same effect. For example, this plays your microphone back at you, pitch shifted and with a delay:
play '|rec -p pitch +400 40 delay 5 5'
RVC is what you're looking for. There's lots of tooling around it.

The classic information-through-IRC these days.
* Make loopback devices that are always there for headphones/mic -- software doesn't handle connection/disconnection well
* Keep all your processing in carla (i load it with systemd as a user unit on login)
* You still need some way to control "pulse audio" (even though it's pipewire provided) for per-app volume control, profile selections, etc, so you probably want pavucontrol for that.

It lets me install any normal audio pro audio plugins, for example https://github.com/xiph/rnnoise
It also does some cable management, but qpwgraph is maybe better for that.
I looked at your code and the approach (IMO) is kind of bad.
If you want to solve the problem of "voice changer", you can skip the UI entirely and just use plugin parameters. You can also skip the problem of managing the connections. And when you publish your work, every pro audio software (Ableton, Reaper, whatever) can use your audio processing.
Hope that helps.
... I don't know what the label says on the link between the client and server, though, the katakana is "bo i che n" and I can't think of what that transliterates to. Maybe it's a loanword that's not from English?
