Who does still run pulseaudio when pipewire exists?
- jampekka 6mo agoEdit: This is incorrect, as pointed out below. Pulseaudio still does the device juggling etc on most systems even when there's a pipewire backend.
- sph 6mo agoWrong. Pipewire is pulseaudio-compatible, and the device juggling is done by wireplumber
- yjftsjthsd-h 6mo agoAre you sure? On every device I could quickly reach (Gentoo, NixOS, Pop OS, all with vanilla/default pipewire configs), `ps aux |grep -i pulse` only turns up pipewire-pulse.
- moffkalast 6mo agoPeople using LTS releases, who do you know... actual work instead of just compiling your kernel over and over.
- nine_k 6mo agoAn LTS releases that are soo old usually run on servers, where pulseaudio is not really a thing. My distro's compile farm compiles kernels for me (thanks guys!), and switched to pipewire years ago.
