Somebody said on GitHub that "Pipewire is the

Jack/Pulseaudio".
Yes, and ALSA as well to some extent. To applications pipewire looks
like a running JACK server, or pulseaudio or like an ALSA device. So
existing apps do not have to be changed.
Search this list archives from 2018. There was a discussion of the
framework.
Is Pipewire viewed like this by the wider community?
Does anybody have
experience using it?
Yes, all Fedora 34 users, and some Arch'ers too. It comes up regularly
on the Ardour forum in recent months, top 3: [1,2,3].
There are still a few rough edges, but it matures quickly.
