PipeWire issues (on Arch)

[mxmilkiib]

I'm using the Arch Linux PipeWire Pulseaudio dropin package which doesn't require the PA binary.

studio-controls is not pw ready by any means. And to be honest pipewire is not ready for full time use either. And on top of that, pipewire already does most of what studio-controls does internally. Controls will support pipewire when it is ready for everyday use and more common. perhaps around the next ubuntu LTS, but perhaps sooner as pw moves into the debian/ubuntu world.
