jackaudio VS svntogit-packages

Linux: Good luck! You can use JACK, which provides something similar to ASIO4ALL (as in generic low-latency audio functionality, but with more flexibility). In conjunction with pulseaudio-module-jack, you are able to route ordinary system audio (browser, media players, OBS, etc) to JACK and vice versa. Here's a guide on how to achieve this. Then you can just set JACK as pd's output and as OBS' input. I successfully set this up on a Debian system.

If you search for a solution to connect non-JACK software to JACK maybe you could try running PulseAudio on top of JACK.

They're different implementations, that are almost functionally identical. Because JACK2 is actively maintained, it should be the preferred choice, unless you have a very specific need for JACK1.

NetJACK = https://github.com/jackaudio/jackaudio.github.com/wiki/WalkThrough_User_NetJack2

jack2 is a rewritten version of jack. It has a backwards compatible ABI -- programs compiled for jack will work with jack2 without needing recompile. See https://github.com/jackaudio/jackaudio.github.com/wiki/Differences-between-jack1-and-jack2 which recommends using jack2 as jack is now bugfix-only (no new features etc)

You could probably use alsa_in to make a jack port for the mic https://github.com/jackaudio/jackaudio.github.com/wiki/WalkThrough_User_AlsaInOut

Check the official jack/pulseaudio howto for getting that up and running.

https://github.com/jackaudio/jackaudio.github.com/wiki may be helpful, otherwise do the usual sweep here, on Arch Linux, youtube, https://odysee.com/$/search?q=jack%20audio etc.

More sanely, just makepkg the official pkgbuild from archlinux extra.

Packagekit support has been dropped from the gnome-software package https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/d62208b27b99de982318d58d87a9125def07f626

git clone https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages.git --branch packages/$pkgname --single-branch $pkgname

For example Arch applies quite a few patches to Chromium.

Yep looks like ffmpeg package needs to be rebuilt against svt-av1 1.5.0. In the meantime you can checkout, build & re-install the ffmpeg pkgbuild locally to fix.

Download the PKGBUILDs from the archlinux svntogit trunk and use makepkg as you'd normally would I guess. Here's the PKGBUILD for gnome-shell v. 3.38.4 for example: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/blob/e93ee10b663dedcebfd8c33fd53b82f642a0a0a8/trunk/PKGBUILD

The old python PKGBUILD from the Arch repos is here, in case anyone wants to build it themselves under the python310 name (with additional minor modifications): https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/blob/855d73921bb8e86820a7731870de335c3c2fa236/trunk/PKGBUILD
