Doesn't it work with PulseAudio? Using raw ALSA doesn't sound common. And there are plugins for such cases. Linux as a whole is moving towards Pipewire anyway:

  It's a good evolution over Pulse and Jack. Partially driven by Wayland security model too. So I see no problem in doing the right thing here. And I don't like that xkcd in general because it's missing the point. Its basic idea boils down to "don't improve anything because it's another new thing" which is outright wrong. Not every design can be improved incrementally.

    It's still possible for a new interface to provide a compatibility or translation API for prior software.

      Sure, and it's already done for Pulse / ALSA for example. Pipewire can do the same if it's possible.

  Pipewire can also route video, silencing once and for all the "muh network transparency" whiners who are dragging their feet on switching to Wayland.
