Devuan 6.0 documentation of how to enable pipewire even in KDE Wayland

This is how I do it, with KDE wayland it works. By the way, on Devuan 6 gnome is totally borked. Doesn't work at all.

mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart
nano ~/.config/autostart/pipewire.desktop

add this to the file:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=PipeWire
Exec=sh -c 'pipewire & pipewire-pulse & wireplumber &'
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true

Then:

chmod +x ~/.config/autostart/pipewire.desktop

I run this script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# kill any existing pipewire instance to restore sound
pkill -u "$USER" -fx /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse 1>/dev/null 2>&1
pkill -u "$USER" -fx /usr/bin/wireplumber 1>/dev/null 2>&1
pkill -u "$USER" -fx /usr/bin/pipewire 1>/dev/null 2>&1

exec /usr/bin/pipewire &

# wait for pipewire to start before attempting to start related daemons
while [ "$(pgrep -f /usr/bin/pipewire)" = "" ] ; do
   sleep 1
done

exec /usr/bin/wireplumber &

# wait for wireplumber to start before attempting to start pipewire-pulse
while [ "$(pgrep -f /usr/bin/wireplumber)" = "" ] ; do
   sleep 1
done

exec /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse &
