Bouzas: PipeWire, the media service transforming the Linux multimedia landscape

When I last tried to transfer sound over the network with PulseAudio over wifi, I got regular skips every couple of minutes or so seconds. Annoying, unusable. (Today I suspect that what I experienced was my wifi driver doing periodic background scans so the network manager menu could show me all the avalable wifi networks. I think it can be turned off, but how many users will be able to figure it out?)

What worked surprisingly well was running mplayer over ssh so the sound played locally, and the video was displayed over X11 over wifi.

This was maybe in 2005, so I would love to hear how well things work nowadays.
