There's some confusion here.
Pipewire *reimplements* JACK, it does not connect to JACK.
I am referring to
the JACK bridge as described here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/wikis/Config-JACK#jack-b…
<https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/wikis/Config-JACK#jack-bridge>
Seeing that my soundcard setup is a little complicated, I'd much
rather
start with that, having my normal audio in tact, until I work out
how to
solve that issue.
Again, PipeWire *is* JACK and it is also PulseAudio. It it not a
replacement for PulseAudio, it is a replacement for both of them. Once
you are using PipeWire, everything you've read about JACK bridging
etc. becomes incorrect and irrelevant.
You can though keep your existing JACK setup and bring pipewire into it,
pipewire then becomes a regular JACK client.
Might be useful if one wants to experiment with pipewire early, or use
pipewire's pulseaudio stuff instead of pulseaudio directly.
