As a bare minimum you would need pipewire (the daemon)
and
pipewire-jack (the libjack.so client implementation). With a custom
config file you can make this work exactly like jack (see below).
Thanks, will try this, but mnay questions remain (see below).
All the system integration (dbus, systemd and the
automatic stuff)
happens in the session manager. You don't need to run this.
Aha, that is good news.
You'll need the pipewire git version
Will things work with the current Arch packages and do I
need git just becuase it has the minimal.conf file ?
If yes I'd prefer to use the Arch packages for now.
Questions:
* A lot of lines in the minimal.conf are commented. Can one
assume that these correspond to the defaults ? If not, what
are the defaults for all these parameters ?
What concerns me here is things like
#channelmix.normalize = true
I certainly do not want any normalisation, so do I need
to set this to false explicitly ?
* The sample rate (48000) is in many places, most of them
commented out. What is the relation between all of these ?
Why, for example, is 'default.clock.rate' commented ?
* 'quantum', 'period-size' and 'period-num' are commented
out everywhere (except in 'vm.override'). So where is
the period size defined ?
* If things like sample rate, period size, etc. are set
to some fixed values in the config, can they still be
modified by e.g. pw-metadata ? I hope not...
