What do you need to know about PipeWire?
PipeWire is a project that aims to greatly improve handling of audio and video under Linux. It provides a low-latency, graph based processing engine on top of audio and video devices that can be used to support the use cases currently handled by both pulseaudio and JACK.
Why did I change PulseAudio to PipeWire pulse?
Yesterday I replaced pulseaudio with pipewire-pulse. The main reason was pulseaudio suddenly wasn’t showing my onboard soundcard anymore (that is most of the time.) I had pulse configured to send audio both to my wireless usb-headset and my amplifier, so I could switch devices by turning one on and the other one off.
Which is the latest version of PipeWire for Windows?
PipeWire (0.3) with support for audio use cases should be available in most distributions. Most distributions however will not have enabled the audio parts by default but you can read here how to run some examples. If you want to get the code from GitLab then the latest PipeWire source code is available at GitLab .
