>but I gather that PipeWire is still very much a work in progress Yes absolutely. I am a Arch user. My actual goal to make this PPA, to make available latest PipeWire builds to the ubuntu/debian users as the official repo has very very old versions on every ubuntu/debian based distros. With this version PipeWire gone ahead one step further, Its much much mature now. Now Its time to test on every Linux Distros. But the maintainers not willing to push new versions to their official repositories. I'm not saying that PulseAudio needs to be replaced with PipeWire Right now but they should at least give a chance to their user to use PipeWire as beta/alpha tests. In that way PipeWire can Improve its Stability and extensibility as users can file bugs or request for new features. PipeWire will not break your system or not leave your system with inconsistent packages as dependencies are very very minimal. You also need not to uninstall PulseAudio to use PipeWire, Just need to disable and stop some services related to PulseAudio and enable some PipeWire related services. If users feels something not working with PipeWire they should report bugs to [upstream](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/new) and can be quickly switched to PulseAudio for that time only. The developers/community are very friendly they always gets back with fixed solutions to you. Like that you can also contribute on the project by helping its devlopers to fix bugs. This debian package (PPA) Holds a repo on [github](https://github.com/pipewire-debian/pipewire-debian) which is forked from original debian package from [here](https://salsa.debian.org/utopia-team/pipewire/-/tree/debian/0.3.24-3) with little bit modifications. This PPA will be published on every 15 days without any modification of its source code. Any one can view/contribute or can give suggestion related to the PPA on this github repo. I also published a [Wiki](https://github.com/pipewire-debian/pipewire-debian/wiki) on how to make a debian `.deb` package and publish on Launchpad. With this wiki anyone can study and contribute this repo. I have not did anything under the hood, Everything is on github, If anyone suspect my works, they can visit the repo and can find Whether I have included any malware/keylogger or any nasty script with this PPA.LOL 🤣 by the way.
