What are the main differences between pipewire and pulseaudio? Which one is better? What are other alternative popular sound servers besides these two?

    Well, being low level is exactly what lets to extract better performance, lower latency and other good stuff.

      There’s still a fine line to draw between usability and performance

      ALSA is too low level for musicians to reasonably understand

      Having something like PipeWire to make it easier to configure isn’t a bad thing

        People here also are asking for super low-latency

          That’s another nice thing about PipeWire.

          It supports configuring JACK for you if you need low latency

              You lost track of the conversation. That was about ALSA
