  • [gentoo-user] pulseaudio - pipewire

    From hitachi303@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 3 18:20:01 2022
    Hi,

    so there is a eselect news "2022-07-29-pipewire-sound-server" telling
    that changes have been made.

    I care about having sound but don't care to much about how it is
    working. Any suggestions which path will lead me to the goal of having
    the least trouble in future?
    Like is pulseaudio going to disappear so I will have do switch anyway?
    Is pipewire that new that it'll be buggy for the years to come?

    Regards

    If you're using pulse now and things are working, then stick with
    pulse.

    If nothing on your system is dependent on pipewire, you've nothing to
    gain (right now) from changing.

    That's my approach, I'm in a similar position of wanting the least
    friction.

    Many other distros are using it without major problems.

    Ubuntu still ships PulseAudio for its long term version which is what I use
    but I've
    not heard of any problems with the leading edge version.

    I've been using pipewire with default settings and USE="-pulseaudio" in make.conf. It works fine for my basic needs.
