Pipewire is the new hotness. I’ve read comments from various audio engineers and programmers that pipewire “gets it right”.
Pipewire came out in 2017, pulseaudio in 2004.
“PipeWire has received much praise, especially among the GNOME and Arch Linux communities. Particularly as it fixes problems that some PulseAudio users had experienced, including high CPU usage, Bluetooth connection issues, and JACK backend issues.”
