Pipewire as the heart of Linux-based audio system
Linux-based system design is a good example of the importance of proper hardware-software partitioning, and how it can affect the whole system’s performance. Last year, we detailed multiple complex architectures, how they handled unsynchronized audio signals and how it affected the system. One year later, we will discuss how recent advances in Pipewire helps manage asynchronous audio streams on multiple interfaces, and how it impacts system design.
