You distro probably also has a package that puts the pipewire
libjack.so in LD_LIBRARY path and then you don't have to type pw-jack
anymore.

switch to fixed sample rate (on the fly):

  pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.force-rate <samplerate>

switch back to dynamic control

  pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.force-rate 0

Same for buffersize (quantum) :

  pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.force-quantum <quantum>

and back to dynamic:

  pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.force-quantum 0
