Pipewire: Disruption Done Right
Earlier today, as I was putting the finishing touches on a new Gentoo install on my wife's new ROG Flow X13 (review of that incoming), I asked her how fancy of a sound setup she wants. She replied that simple is key. She does want Bluetooth, but probably doesn't need multiple user, auto-routing output, or other fancy things. Fair enough. While getting all the audio libraries set up, with correct USE flags, I spotted that Pipewire has grown a new set of flags to keep it from fighting with JACK or Pulseaudio.
