PipeWire integration discussion?

[AVLinux]

OK,

Doing some testing here but I'm a bit puzzled about what wireplumber does...? This is currently on Enlightenment because I thought I would start with the most potentially difficult first... What I learn from here I will work backwards on testing sysvinit

I'm on a systemd VM currently and have installed the pipewire, libspa, wireplumber, mx-pipewire-setup and qpwgraph Packages..

pactl info gives me this:

I'm assuming that is good?

And qpwgraph is showing me pipewire servers and clients on the graph:

But what does wireplumber do...? If I try and run it in a terminal it endlessly spews warnings and such... Does it have GUI or what is it supposed to be doing..? For a quick test I fired up Audacity and hit record on it while a Youtube Video was playing in Firefox and it autconnected the Firefox outputs to the Audacity inputs which seemed pretty cool..

wireplumber is the session manager for Pipewire. there really isn't an analog in pulseaudio. basically it connections pipewire to alsa and the user session.

Ahh 'wpctl status'... :

As usual the Arch folks are way ahead with docs: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/WirePlumber

It has no gui. Beyond that I don’t know.

I'm looking in the test repo and can't see mx-pipewire-setup.

Does it have a secret label?

Alex.

EDIT: Never mind, i'm missing a couple of others as well, and a refresh isn't showing anything new.

I'll wait.

I don't think it's there yet, in fact here I'm not seeing any of the pipewire updates in MX-Test here so either the mirrors are still syncing or the upload hasn't happened yet.. For testing in a VM I grabbed the debian-backports pipewire packages and got the mx-pipewire setup from earlier in this thread and qpwgraph from Stevo's zip earlier in this thread..

Unless you're trying this in a throwaway VM or a sacrificial lamb install might be best to wait for it all to show up in MX-Test

Yep, i'll wait.

They appear to have made it into the test repo yesterday:

mirrors can take a while to update...
