[artix-general] [ot] pipewire without pulse (volume control)

[Javier]

Hi,

I understand pipewire can replace pulse, but everywhere I read that is by using pipewire-pulse.  But I don't use pulseAdio at all, and I'm not interested on start doing so...  Unfortunately most applications only support whether alsa or pulse as audio backend, so I guess I'll be forced to use pipewire-alsa to get pipewire to work without pulse.  However I'm wondering about a volume control, like the pavucontrol-qt one (I use LXQt, so Qt is more appealing to me).  Also, everywhere I've read, pipewire volume control is achieved through though the pulse volume control, like with pavucontrol-qt or pactl, which would require pulse up and running I guess, and therefore the pipewire-pulse plugin as well, which is not what I'm looking for.

Is this possible?  I'm guessing as well pipewire would work not just on wayland, but also on Xorg, though even if doesn't, the question still remains, since at some point I'll have to migrate to wayland, and still I wouldn't like to use pipewire on top of pulse...

Thanks !
