The most interesting thing about PipeWire to me is that it aims to be a drop-in replacement for jack, for doing pro-audio work.
I'd be curious if any pros can comment on whether it's achieved that, and how it measures up to jack.
- viraptor 5y agoWhile I'm not a pro by any means, I've been playing with this use case for a bit now. The jack interface "just works". If you're running an RT or full pre-empt kernel, the delays is really minimal. It's silly how much easier it is to setup. No changes needed and your qjackctl / Carla / ... will show all applications. You can connect your browser, guitarx, ardour, reaper channels as you please - whether they're jack-aware or not.
- atoav 5y agoWith alsa_in and alsa_out you can add multiple sound cards as well (e.g. sending out oudio via you laptops hdmi and use a external interface). I really like jack once I got how to get a running setup. The only problem is that some software doesn't natively support it
- viraptor 5y agoThat's the beauty of pipewire. You can see the pulse/alsa applications in jack interfaces and jack apps in pulse interfaces.
