AV Linux and pipewire

[Arno]

Hi,

After experimenting with pulse audio to jack I want to try pipewire.

Is it possible to use pipewire on AV Linux (21.2.1)?
AVL uses sysvinit instead of systemd.

You can easily activate systemd, but I think using Pipewire with Debian 11 is still not a good idea. There's a big thread in the MX Linux forum.

Thanks. Then I'll stick with Pulse Audio.
For audio output of applications I'll try to write a script so I don't have to that manually each time.

Together with a jack connections file all the audio routing should be saved to be used next time.

Does pipewire require systemD? If so, it's never coming here

No, it doesn't but I guess it depends on how it is packaged in your distro. It's required on arch but gentoo and debian don't necessarily need it:

Hi Arno,

if you (or anyone else) need a solution to reestablish jackconnections stored in a file and save connections into a file: i wrote last week such a script, solely for jack. If you need it, drop me a message.
