The author uses Pipewire with WebRTC in Chrome, very cool.

Pipewire is showing up all over the place. I've been reading a little about it, but I finally got a comfortable setup of jackd and pulseaudio and am worried it might interfere with my stable setup.

Am I being paranoid?

[solarkraft]

Yes. I currently run it besides Pulse for screen sharing and there are no issues. I haven't replaced Pulse yet because it didn't work right away, but plan to try again eventually because Pipewire supports HFP, the less terrible Bluetooth headset profile.

Bluetooth support alone would be worthy of the pain of switching. Thank you.

The next version of fedora uses pipewire instead of pulse audio. From all the people I have seen test it, they said it works much better than pulse.

I'm testing it now. Fixed my USB audio issues. Much better than pulse.

I've replaced pulse with pipewire and that has been seamless. The experience is generally determined by how well the distro supports moving from one to the other rather than any maturity issues with pipewire.

I've retained jackd instead of using pipewire's implementation because I don't think the pipewire version supports transport control or timecode.

It's not perfect but mostly works.
