Description Alex Caston 2021-07-29 01:44:13 UTC 
I'd like to use Pipewire compatibility layers for pulse and jack. I read the wiki page regarding pipewire to know how to do that, however the wiki tells you to install the 'pipewire-jack' package which is in fact missing on the official repos. I also tried installing 'pipewire-libjack' as suggested on a Reddit post but it's missing too. I'm using the latest snapshot.

Which Wiki page are you referring to?

AFAIK, the binary is included in pipewire-libjack-* package, but now it's named as pw-jack, not pipewire-jack.

It seems that, though, pulseaudio is still named as pipewire-pulseaudio, so this looks inconsistent.

In anyway, the update of documents is needed.

To use pipewire as the default jack server, the "pipewire-jack" package must be installed (manually).

To use pipewire only for *some* applications, use "pw-jack <application>".

Not really packaging issue.  Closed.
