Title:
pipewire-pulse unnecessarily recommends pipewire-alsa to emulate
pulseaudio's packaging
Status in pipewire package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in pipewire package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Reported to Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/1029377
pipewire-pulse and pulseaudio can be co-installed on a system, but if
both are installed at once, the "Recommends: pipewire-alsa" line in
pipewire-pulse creates a situation where the dependency cannot be
resolved due to a conflict between pipewire-alsa and pulseaudio. This
is especially true when both are being seeded in Ubuntu Studio with
the intent of being switchable via services with a utility such as
Studio Controls.
This also causes a regression in https://bugs.debian.org/1020903 in
which a conflict existed between pipewire-pulse and pulseaudio that
was unnecessary because, as stated in the bug report, both can be
installed simultaneously and enabled/disabled via services.
If Debian does not resolve this upstream, I recommend we fix this in
our own packaging as to not break workflows. Professional audio users
cannot use the pipewire-jack system as it does not provide the right
kind of functionality for some hardware, which is why the switch was
to be implemented. For example, the alsa backend for jack must be
disabled for some firewire devices which require the FFADO backend
instead.
This has been resolved, hopefully temporarily, by removing pulseaudio
from Ubuntu Studio's seed. We hope to bring it back, but this issue
has caused some very unfortunate issues that will become workflow
issues for our users.
