have to retract the above: recent 6.3-rcX-rtY (preempt_rt) kernel patches are
doing quite well here on both accounts, pipewire-jack and genuine
jackd(bus)...
if things keep this way, hopefully the switch to pipewire-jack might just
happen permanently one of these coming months ;)
Not for me, the ALSA firewire module limits me to at least 256/2 latency
as compaired to 16/2 with jack (3 days straight no xruns). PipeWire will
never support jack backends like ffado. It does not seem ALSA FW will ever
be better than just barely working. Buying a USB box to replace what I
have, aside from being more than I can afford right now, aside from being
a waste of a perfectly good unit, Just irks me that I should spend good
money for something that would work less well than what I already have.
Having said that, PipeWire does work well for most people (I have not had
freewheel work for me yet) and I think it is much better than pulse or
pulse/jack. For most of my work, I can run PW for everything just fine but
using my computer as an effects box/softsynth still needs jack.
