For pro audio we should test very deeply with clients like ardour, audacity, rosegarden, hydrogen and so on. Pro audio is very sensible to latency and real time scheduling, and jack is very mature in handling these requirements. IMHO pipewire is too young to accomplish these tasks. I think this should be an opt-in or out and that jack should remain as an alternative to pipewire's jack module.
