USUARIONUEVO · 01-15-2024, 03:14 PM

I miss comment here my experience with pipewire under 15.0

In my case , i got video freezes on mplayer/smplayer in one of my two machones... swith to pulse and works okey.

On -current pipewire works perfectly nice and no issues detecdet.

I think on -current pipewire is ready to do de default , lets see.

sorry it was just a typing mistake.

I meant

Code:

/usr/sbin/pipewire-enable.sh

It's working now, how it should be.

I've installed Pipewire from current and a I had to add a little autostart script to my DWL configuration.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

pipewire &
pipewire-pulse &
wireplumber

Interesting:

Code:

If you are active in the Linux community, you will often come across 
the debate on what's better: PipeWire or PulseAudio?

Some users prefer going back to PulseAudio, while others find solving 
their decade-old audio problems much better. So the question here is: 
what is the difference between PipeWire and PulseAudio?

Successfully built and running pipewire-1.0.4 on 15.0, but it now also requires updating doxygen to the version in -current (1.10.0) to build.

pipewire-1.0.4/doc/man-fixup.py is the script that it fails on otherwise.

Wireplumber 0.5.2

Highlights:

Code:

- Added support for loading configuration files other than the default
  wireplumber.conf within Lua scripts
- Added support for loading single-section configuration files, without
  fragments
- Updated the node.software-dsp script to be able to load filter-chain graphs
  from external configuration files, which is needed for Asahi Linux audio
  DSP configuration

Changes:

Code:


- The library version is now generated following pipewire's versioning scheme:
libwireplumber-0.5.so.0.5.2 becomes libwireplumber-0.5.so.0.0502.0
