PipeWire 0.3.72

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/releases/0.3.72

Highlights

  • Fix a critical bug that would refuse to update the samplerate or buffersize in JACK clients.
  • A new module-netjack2-driver and module-netjack2-manager were added that are compatible with NETJACK2. This allows PipeWire to become a NETJACK2 manager or a driver between JACK2 or PipeWire servers.
  • Support was added for firewire devices with FFADO. This is untested for now and MIDI is not implemented yet.
  • The node scheduling was optimized some more. - External drivers are now as efficient as in-server ones. This should improve performance of various drivers such as bluetooth and JACK based drivers.
  • Many, many bug fixes and a ton of improvements.

Pipewire is so fucking great. I'm wondering what special use cases bugs the audiophiles still encounter

Every release fixes more bugs for the advanced DAW usecase. Personally, I've already switched from JACK to pipewire-jack and it's felt like a drop-in replacement.

Really interesting that NETJACK2 is now part of pipewire. Did anyone ever play around with it? How usable is it as a FOSS alternative to Dante?
