[LAD] Is Piperware a successor to Jack/Pulseaudio?

[M. Edward (Ed) Borasky]

The biggest issue with Pipewire IMHO is that it does not support
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. That will be a big obstacle to growth until 18.04 is
no longer supported, which is still about two years away. I don't know
what's involved in doing a backport, but I for one would use Pipewire
if it was working on 18.04.
