This looks quite interesting if it can unify the role of Jack and pulseaudio.

yeah, while its easy to point to xkcd and make fun, they've been working on it for at least 3 years (by the github history) and they seem to be taking it slow to make sure they do it well, so I'm optimistic about it. And IIUC jack apps will work OOTB with it.

There is a beautiful site https://pipewire.org/

But the command line interface is not ultra intuitive yet. I have no idea what to do with it
