FUCK
guess I'm streaming with plain ffmpeg now
I have just been informed that Steam now also depends on it. Kill me now.
@lucifargundam PulseAudio is only just usable, and now they're trying to replace it. I don't want to live through another 10 years of broken audio.
@izaya @lucifargundam yeah, that's a fair point. it took a long time to get everything to play nicely together in Pulse. For the longest time, Audacity couldn't even fucking record.
@sean @lucifargundam for the longest time it was just easier to use apulse to make pulse-dependent applications speak ALSA than actually use pulse
@izaya
I neglected to ask this the first time this post came around, but WHY exactly are people already trying to replace PulseAudio with pipewire?

@lucifargundam
@lucifargundam @tn5421 @izaya I guess it sucks less. Pulseaudio is a complete dumpster fire so I'd be surprised if there's something worse than it.
