Has anyone had a chance to test how Pipewire works with low latency? I'm excited at the idea of replacing my Pulse+ALSA setup, but I'm also looking for the lowest possible latency I can get as I use my DAW as an instrument :)

It works as well as your hardware and sources support. Pulseaudio added notable latency on my system to begin with, and pipewire defaults to minimal instead; which has corner-cases that are covered by reverting to more "headroom" (device buffer?) similar to the existing behavior of alternatives.
