I would love to have an interview about pipewire. I think @wtaymans was involved? Would you like to come on to talk about it? Also I want to know what everyone thinks of this idea.

For instance @wtaymans , what's the difference between pipewire and pulse and alsa, what are the benefits, how easy is it to use, do we still need jack, and do we still need things like Fedora Jam?

  7. What benefits will pro audio users have?
  8. If I upgrade from f33 to f34 will pipewire be enabled?
  9. Are things like Fedora Jam still necessary?
  10. Can I still use things like Pavucontrol?
  11. Can I now use more advanced things like Carla, or Qjackctl?
  12. For a less talked about subject, what can Pipewire do with Video? Will these features be switched on in f34?
  13. How is pipewire helping to contribute to a unified, secure, and easy to use system along with Wayland and Flatpaks?
