Definitely, I agree pipewire-alsa suffices and is better (although I'm not sure alsa-plugins-pulseaudio should have unfullfilled dependncies from pipewire-pulseaudio, it's probably saner to have it autoremoved by default to avoid multiple interfaces to the same service) > > or some new alsa-plugins-pipewire should be pulled in at least to > > keep things working one way or another) > > Yes, it should somehow be pulled in, how should that be done? A Suggests: > for pipewire-pulse maybe? I'm not too familiar on this, but a recommends (rather than suggests which will likely be ignored by dnf afaiu) on pipewire-pulseaudio sounds good despite being not directly related to pulseaudio. I'm honestly not sure what would be best, but pulling it without the pipewire service enable sounds more harmful than good... pipewire-pulseaudio sounds like a good reinsurance that pipewire will likely be running. Note: I've now switched packages and also had to enable/start the service: systemctl --user enable --now pipewire-pulse.socket I would suggest installing a preset file that would tell systemd to enable it by default if possible? It looks like pipewire.socket has one from /usr/lib/systemd/user-preset/90-default-user.preset (in fedora-release-common-33-2.noarch) which wasn't obvious to find, I didn't check if fedora34 also enables pipewire-pulse but if not it definitely should (or pipewire should ship its own presets) Thanks, -- Dominique _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
