Re: Switch default from PulseAudio to PipeWire (and WirePlumber) for audio

I switched to PipeWire some time ago. I don't have particularly complex audio needs (just AUX/headphones on a desktop). When the system is under load and the CPU throttled, I get choppy audio, which is especially annoying when the load is caused by a video. That doesn't happen with PulseAudio and setting the quantum to 2048 is a workaround. pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.force-quantum 2048 Probably there are more of these sorts of issues, so I agree we should switch to it by default sooner rather than later to find the problems. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Switch default from PulseAudio to PipeWire (and WirePlumber) for audio
Hi, I have been asked several times regarding when Debian will switch its default sound server from PulseAudio to PipeWire without having an official answer. Thus, I suppose it's the right time to start a discussion about that. As you know, PipeWire is already installed by default with Bullseye (at least with Wayland environments) for screen-sharing. PipeWire was not mature enough to use it as default sound server for Bullseye, but since it gained in stability, features and popularity. Several other major distributions (Fedora, Ubuntu is doing the switch with 22.10) have switched to PipeWire for audio [1-3]. We cannot talk about PipeWire without mentioning its session manager. Thus, this change should go along the switch of the default session manager, i.e. from the deprecated pipewire-media-session to WirePlumber. We still use pipewire-media-session as default session manager because it enables PipeWire *only* for screen-sharing and not for managing audio. Whereas WirePlumber always configures PipeWire for audio excepted by modifying conf files in a non-compatible packaging way. This issues was also hit on the Arch Linux side [4]. This WirePlumber behavior may be solved in the next major release 0.5 planned later this year. BTW, I just uploaded latest PipeWire and WirePlumber in bullseyes-backports (still in the NEW queue) to allow more users to test them. Best, Dylan [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DefaultPipeWire [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/WirePlumber [3] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ImpishIndri/ReleaseNotes [4] https://archlinux.org/news/undone-replacement-of-pipewire-media-session-with-wireplumber/
Bug#1019387: ITP: atomes -- an atomistic tool box
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Sébastien Le Roux X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org * Package name: atomes Version : 1.1.0 Upstream Author : Sébastien Le Roux * URL : https://atomes.ipcms.fr/ * License : AfferoGPLv3+ Programming Lang: C, Fortran90, GLSL Description : an atomistic tool box Atomes is a cross-platform program developed around 3 main research ideas: analyze, visualize, and edit/create 3D atomistic models. Atomes offers a workspace that allows to have many projects opened simultaneously. The different projects in the workspace can exchange data: analysis results, atomic coordinates ... By regrouping advanced analysis techniques, 3D visualization and 3D edition Atomes introduces innovative 3D rendering possibilities and intuitive utilizations of the calculation results. Atomes also provides an advanced input preparation system for calculations using well known molecular dynamics codes: Classical MD : DL-POLY [1] and LAMMPS [2] ab-initio MD : CPMD [3] and CP2K [4] QM-MM MD : CPMD [3] and CP2K [4] To prepare the input files for these calculations is likely to be the key, and most complicated step towards MD simulations. Atomes offers a user-friendly assistant to help and guide the user step by step to achieve this crucial step. Among the many reasons I could think of, to help you understand why you should consider Atomes seriously, I will pick 3: 1) Atomes offers various physico-chemical analysis tools for 3D atomistic models, to my knowledge there is no software packaged by Debian that provides these kind of tools. Atomes also offers a complete graph edition system, so that calculations results are analyzed, prepared for publication, within the software it-self. These calculations are parallelized in OpenMP. 2) Atomes is designed to handle millions of atoms large systems, this is true for both the calculation and the visualization parts of the program. I invite the reviewer of this ITP to compare Atomes performances, to open and visualize large CIF file [5] or large PDB file [6] with other softwares packaged for Debian, like avogadro [7] or GChem3D [8] 3) Atomes provided several tools to build 3D atomistic models and design materials: advanced crystal builder, surface creation and passivation ... these tools and are usually found only in commercial softwares, and simply did not have counterparts in the open source community before Atomes. For the time being I am the sole developer/maintener of Atomes, and I spend a significant part of my professional time to do so. Sources are hosted on Github: Atomes sources: https://github.com/Slookeur/Atomes Atomes DEB sources: https://github.com/Slookeur/Atomes-deb-build Yes I am looking for a sponsor, this is my first Debian package, so I am actually looking for all the help I can get. I am willing to spend time to learn how to do things properly to get Atomes approved by the Debian community and ultimately packaged. If the proper way to do that is inside a packaging team then I think the "Debian Scientific Computing Team" is likely to be the most appropriate place to start. I am looking forward to your reply and advise. Best regards.

Bug#1019383: ITP: node-cjs-module-lexer -- Fast lexer to extract named exports from CommonJS modules
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Jérémy Lal X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org * Package name: node-cjs-module-lexer Version : 1.2.2 Upstream Author : Guy Bedford * URL : https://github.com/nodejs/cjs-module-lexer#readme * License : Expat Programming Lang: JavaScript Description : Fast lexer to extract named exports from CommonJS modules Very fast JavaScript CommonJS module syntax lexer used to detect the most likely list of named exports of a CommonJS module. . It is used by Node.js for CommonJS and ES Modules interoperability. . Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine. For now nodejs and jest both have a bundled copy of it, and both don't generate the wasm build, so this package is meant to fix that. It also makes it cleaner for nodejs internal modules to be externalized. It is stable, and I intend to maintain this package along with nodejs in pkg-javascript team.
