I’m using pipewire in NixOS unstable and it’s working very well. I know they are working in integrating new pipewire configuration with Nix configuration.
I am just waiting the release of the next NixOS stable version, since the integration in the current stable version (20.09) is still lacking some important features.
I've been trying out the latest master builds of pipewire recently and have been pretty impressed with it: * My bluetooth headset can now use the HFP profile with the mSBC codec (16 kHz sample rate) instead of the terrible CVSD codec (8 kHz sample rate) with the basic HSP profile. * Higher quality A2DP stereo codecs, like LDAC, also work. * AVDTP 1.3 delay reporting works (!!) to delay the video for perfect A/V sync.…

I've been running it for about a month and everything seems to work exactly as I expect it to. I honestly notice no difference other than the pulse audio input/output picker extension I had been using seems confused now (the native GNOME sound control panel applet works jus…

Setups for professional music production. This usually requires JACK ( https://jackaudio.org/ ) as audio server, which allows synchronizing and connecting multiple applications. For example, you can have Ardour ( https://ardour.org/ ) as DAW, but use another application like Hydrogen ( http://hydrogen-music.org/ ) for creating drum samples. JACK connects the two applications using a virtual patchbay that allows using…
