Hello nixers,
I searched the forums and couldn't actually find anything related to audio.

I recently wrote a summary of the audio stack on open source Unix-like systems.
But I'd like to know your opinion and your actual local setup.

Do you prefer the audio processing to happen in user-land or kernel?
Do you have a use for audio pipeline?
Or for volume per-application?
What do you think of PipeWire, are you using it?
What's your preferred audio stack currently?
Do you generate music on your machine?

Otherwise, let's talk anything audio.

The thing I'm most amazed is that it's the first time that I actually understand ALSA's configuration format. Now it just clicked: it's a big dictionary of different profiles/devices that get merged.
