Thanks for the heads-up, that is indeed useful and interesting to know .. hadn't heard much of it, but I suppose its because A) my Linux DAW is rock solid and I don't need to change it much, and B) I'm an iOS/AVFoundation developer by day-job, so this is not on my radar as much as it should be. Therefore, I'm quite grateful for the introduction to Pipewire; its going to make a very interesting, Monday-morning/train-ride read .. ;)
