What are your favorite GUI-based Pipewire tools?

[Audiojunkie]

I've been putting together my own personal GUI Front End Pipewire tool set. I'm curious what tools you are using and for what reasons. For example, I am starting to use the following tools:

PavuControl -- For Sound Card Setup

Wireplumber -- It's the default, so I want to keep it.

Qpwgraph -- Graph manager and patch bay

Coppwr -- For low level Pipewire configurations

Simple Wireplumber GUI -- With this tool you can easily rename and see the properties of your audio devices, if you're running pipewire as your audio server and wireplumber as it's session and policy manager.

Pipewire-sample-rate-config -- to change Pipewire's sample rate and buffer size

I'm always on the lookout for better tools. It would be nice to just have one GUI to cover everything, but that doesn't exist yet. What are you guys using?

Wireplumber has a GUI? :O

I don't have PW yet but I'm following discussions about it because one day I'll have to switch. You mention pavucontrol which is PulseAudio's Volume Control application. Does that one still work so well in PW that you use it (PW "emulates" PA?)? And aren't you afraid that if we Linuxers completely wipe PA from our systems or when it's deprecated that that utility is gone too?

I would say Pipewire is rather a reimplementation than an emulation of Pulseaudio.
The reasons for that undertaking were some restrains in the design of PA.
The main objective of this reimplementation was to preserve API compatability for consumers (clients and tools).
So no, pavucontrol won't vanish because of PW being the underlying server.
