As Ubuntu 21.04 includes pipewire for video streams and screen sharing by default, I am wondering whether or not it is possible to replace pulseaudio completely with pipewire. Created by Wim Taymans at Red Hat, PipeWire is a server for handling audio, video streams, and hardware on Linux-based systems, and it was already adopted by popular distros like Fedora Linux, Slackware, OpenMandriva Lx, EndeavourOS, and many others. Ubuntu 22.10 will also ship with GCC 12 as the default system compiler, as well as many of the. PipeWire is a new low-level multimedia framework. It aims to offer capture and playback for both audio and video with minimal latency and support for PulseAudio, JACK, ALSA and GStreamer-based applications. PipeWire is the default audio server in Ubuntu 22.10. The latest daily builds of the development release (which is codenamed ‘Kinetic Kudu’) ship with Pipewire in place of Pulseaudio out of the box, no workarounds required. The last time Ubuntu made made a major change to its audio stack was (fittingly) in the last ‘K’-named release. PipeWire runs as 3 separate processes compared to PulseAudio above.
