Yes. The only times I’ve had any problem with pipewire were when pulse decided to run for some reason and disrupted everything.
Also, I can open a pipewire device, write data there, and not run into C assert faults. I can do this with oss and alsa too, of course, but AFAIK, it’s impossible with pulse and all the Linux DEs ran on pure magic for a decade.





Slack is great when you need to make something completely out of the ordinary. It’s right there just one step removed from a system from scratch without GNU.
That said, embedded computers nowadays run full Debian. So I dunno what use it still has.
