I'm still planning to give rawhide with Xfce 4.16 and pipewire a try with a live image, but what I meant with f33 is that currently I can't swap pulseaudio with pipewire-pulseaudio because xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin currently has an explicit dependency on the former. It looks like both pulseaudio and pipewire-pulseaudio packages provide pulseaudio-daemon, and maybe xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin could depend on that to work with both implementations. And I was hoping this specific change could trickle down to f33 so I could test pipewire on my current f33/Xfce 4.14 system. That's my last show stopper right now. The other packages that would be erased if I swapped both implementations today can go away without bothering me too much. Sorry if that was confusing, and thanks again for maintaining Xfce in Fedora.Yeah, I totally think it makes sense to change xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin to work with either and move it's dep to 'pulseaudio-daemon' from 'pulseaudio'. kevin
There is a problem in doing this. If we move to pulseaudio-daemon, we lose our current volume mixer - pavucontrol (which, I am sure requires pulseaudio and is not generic). Other DEs, as far as I know (i.e. GNOME, MATE, and Cinnamon), have their own mixers. pulseaudio-plugin relies on an external mixer.
I would prefer not to move to without a suitable replacement for pavucontrol - if we can avoid it. Does pipewire provide a suitable replacement for pavucontrol?
