Is there a 'Getting Started With pipewire' and/or wireplumber somewhere? Or should they 'just work' and I need to check my connections?
As a non-gnome (and non-display-manager) user, I share these .xsession snippets:
# Required by pipewire, at least export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=$(mktemp -d /tmp/$(id -u)-runtime-dir.XXX)
# Required by most things eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
pipewire & pipewire-pulse & (sleep 2 ; wireplumber & ) &
There wasn't a pipewire-specific config; it uses the same ALSA backend as pulseaudio used.
If you don't mind answering, was it a Rhode Island Red cockerel or a hen which you sacrificed to learn these arcane secrets? And, full-moon at midnight, or dark of the moon? Or did this take moving up to a goat? Or are you a graduate of Hogwarts? Because I am quite sure that none of these snippets show up anywhere in the so-called documentation. Pure magic, just like any sufficiently advanced technology.
