- wing-_-nuts 4y agoI just looked up what I was using, and it's apparently 'pulseaudio on pipewire'. You'll forgive the confusion. Still, I've not seen anything like what OP is describing. I'm sure he could hook to some sort of 'plug-in' event and auto restart it, though that does sound irritating.
- myself248 4y agoAnyone got an updated version of this graphic? https://i.stack.imgur.com/YjUTQ.png https://i.stack.imgur.com/YjUTQ.png It's surely worse in the 16 years since.
- smoldesu 4y agoThe updated version would look fairly similar, except most things would be routed to feed into either PulseAudio, ALSA or Jack. After that, it would be one big Dumb Funnel into PipeWire and out to your hardware. Also a lot of that stuff is arguably obsolete. 90% of Linux apps will just dump audio to PulseAudio, which is neatly managed through PipeWire. A few professional apps use JACK2, which is also PW managed. Everything else will default to an ALSA sink wired through, you guessed it, PipeWire. It's like a boring and remarkably stable version of the Wayland situation.
- winrid 4y agoThere is no plug-in event, that's the problem. I can see the unplug event from the kernel logs, but it never gets an event when plugging it back in.
