  • portaudio

    PortAudio is a cross-platform, open-source C language library for real-time audio input and output.

    In my testing with Mixxx, PipeWire works better with the JACK API than PulseAudio. With PulseAudio I got frequent crackles with Mixxx using this PortAudio branch. Using PipeWire via the JACK API, I get the same performance at low latencies as JACK.

  • Waybar

    Highly customizable Wayland bar for Sway and Wlroots based compositors. :v: :tada:

    https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/issues/933 It is known. Waybar works with pipewire for me after waybar got restarted. https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/pull/955

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Pulseaudio-Modules-BT

    Adds Sony LDAC, aptX, aptX HD, AAC codecs (A2DP Audio) support to PulseAudio on Linux (by DarkCaster)

    Are you sure? All headsets can do fallback. Does it expose the codec settings like pulse did with this addon: https://github.com/DarkCaster/Pulseaudio-Modules-BT
