with New PipeWire Audio Backend
facepalm
I thought PipeWire was supposed to be an implementation of the PulseAudio and JACK APIs, requiring no new public API. Disappointing.
Not requiring and not offering are two different things.
Pipewire offers different ways of interacting with it. There are compatibility layers for example for pulseaudio and Jack.
This is a good thing imo. That way you have compatibility, but aren't held back by legacy interfaces.
The qemu pulseaudio support wasn't very good though. Very finicky to set up, and a lot of stuttering issues. Maybe this was an opportunity to implement something better with pipewire.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
