Schaller: An update on Pipewire – the multimedia revolution

Christian Schaller provides us with an update on the state of the new PipeWire multimedia system. "So as you probably noticed one thing we didn’t mention above is how to deal with PulseAudio applications. Handling this usecase is still on the todo list and the plan is to at least initially just keep PulseAudio running on the system outputting its sound through PipeWire. That said we are a bit unsure how many applications would actually be using this path because as mentioned above all GStreamer applications for instance would be PipeWire native automatically through the PipeWire GStreamer plugins."
