Any way to make this work with pipewire?

can this be included like a virtual device or something like that?

I must admit I know next to nothing about Pipewire (in fact, I only learned of its very existence quite recently), so I'm not sure how easy, or even doable this is going to be. I looked into making alsaloudness work with PulseAudio a while back, and, though it seemed possible in theory, documentation on how to do it seemed to be non-existent, as far as I can remember. Hopefully the situation will be better with Pipewire.

I don't have too much spare time to look into this right now, but I'm going to leave this open and have a look when I do find the time. In the meantime, you might research into whether this can be perhaps achieved with simple configuration, i.e. whether Pipewire can be configured to load and use alsaloudness as an ALSA module, or whether it can be configured to expose the PCM created in .asoundrc for alsaloudness. Be sure to let me know if you find anything.

thanks, I actualy just had asked the dev. I hope someone could clarify this https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/1664

about documentation for a port. I think this would be it? https://docs.pipewire.org/page_spa.html

Thanks for opening the issue. The documentation for Pipewire does indeed look better. I'll have a look, as soon as I can manage.
