Still image and motion

I'm running motion on a Pi, but would also like to be able to take the occasional still from the same camera. It seems that I can't run the rpicam-* software at the same time whilst motion is running. Does anyone know of a means of doing this.



TIA

Does PipeWire help? I understand it is supposed to do for both video and audio what PulseAudio could only do for audio.
