If not, then it is a distro problem. They have not packaged pipewire for 18.04, and they probably won't package it since 18.04 is a stable release so major new changes won't be made. It would be possible to add it in as a backport, that could optionally be added. -- Gordonjcp _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
