Read today that Mint 22 will be switching from Pulseaudio to Pipewire. That got me to wondering, does Pipewire have any of the same "baggage" as Pulseaudio? What is the consensus of the Devuan forum members concering Pipewire?

Most important, it is easy to remove. Just another crap produced by the same sort of people.
I was asked to fix sound quality on Fedora without removing PipeWire.
Sound quality was so bad that it was impossible to use Discord.
First of all, I installed fftrate plugin and configured it for 32bit 192kHz.
The user was already satisfied with sound quality.
Then, I installed apulse and explained how to use it. This produced a sort of happiness.

Yeah, I noticed the company the creator works/worked for. Okay, so that's 0 ๐ and 1 ๐.

There are posts on the forum about pipewire, e.g. https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=5867. I am using it on my travelling laptop. There it works ok for me.
Haven't converted my workstation yet, still works with pulse. Didn't get audio to work with pure ALSA.

Thanks for the link. Didn't see this thread. So I guess it's now 1 ๐ and 1 ๐.

Sorry to interrupt the voting procedure.
Didn't get audio to work with pure ALSA.
This seems to be the problem.
There is a belief that problems can be solved by voting. If it does not work, we may try something else.

I wouldn't call this voting. Just a way of keeping track of the "yeas" and "nays." And like I said in the first post, it is only something I was wondering about. I have no plans to switch. Alsa works just fine for me.

Yes, it is very interesting.

i do personally use pipewire and it works for what i do, which is using software that relies on pulse while using software that relies on jack, last i checked that was still a set of hoops to jump with pulse and jack, but since pipewire can provide the interfaces for both pulse and jack from the same daemon it is just a matter of simply running any DAW or plugboard and it just works.

In my opinion, based on experience, everything is simple.
If you want to delve into the settings, we only try alsa with Firefox, it is the most capricious. If there is no sound, add a layer, pipeware or jack.
And if you are lazy, install pulseaudio, it will configure everything itself.
With the first two options, it is not a fact that new versions of programs will work.
Voting is pointless, there are too many different options for computer hardware, bios, proprietary firmware, etc.
The rest is purely a matter of personal tastes and preferences.
