pipewire-void

Info moved to the official docs: https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/media/pipewire.html

== Troubleshooting ==

- Be sure to have XDG_RUNTIME_DIR setup correctly
- Check that no pulseaudio process is running (`pgrep pulseaudio`)

== System pipewire ==
#!/bin/sh
mkdir -p /run/pipewire
umask 000
PIPEWIRE_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/pipewire pipewire

#!/bin/execlineb -P
foreground { mkdir -p /run/pipewire }
fdmove -c 2 1
s6-env PIPEWIRE_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/pipewire execline-umask 000 pipewire

== System pipewire-pulse
#!/bin/sh
mkdir -p /run/pulse
umask 000
PULSE_RUNTIME_PATH=/run pipewire-pulse

#!/bin/execlineb -P
foreground { mkdir -p /run/pulse }
fdmove -c 2 1
s6-env PULSE_RUNTIME_PATH=/run execline-umask 000 pipewire-pulse

It works! After following https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Pipewire, pipewire didn't detect my devices. Installing libspa-alsa fixed it.
And it works so well, that other than my settings not randomly changing anymore, I can't even tell that I'm using pipewire.

Finally, my system is fully Lennard Poettering-free! ❤️

i cannot seem to get this working. pactl info still shows pulseaudio on Server name instead of pulseaudio (pipewire-somethng)

It may be that you have some running application that tries to restart pulseaudio. pgrep pulseaudio will list running pulseaudio instances. So, after pulseaudio --kill, use pgrep pulseaudio to see if some application restarted it. If this is the case, either stop all applications requesting pulseaudio, or disable autospawn in /etc/pulse/client.conf

seems to be working now after reinstalling void...
im on bpswm using xnit.
did pulseaudio-releated step above and place "pipewire &" in .xinitrc before bspwm. its the same thing i did before...

I think, installing libspa-bluetooth removed this error for me.

Still can't figure out why bluetooth audio is not working with pipewire-pulse though. I can connect a bluetooth headset, and an output device is displayed correctly in pavucontrol. However, there's just no sound if it's activated.

If I switch to an actual pulseaudio server instead, it works fine.

But it shouldn't throw an error, it should be optional I think. There was a similar error in absence of libspa-jack that was fixed.

Maybe void-linux/void-packages#28145 helps?

libspa-bluetooth removed the error even before I made the PR. The PR affects only libspa-bluetooth.

No I mean: maybe the missing codecs are the reason his bluetooth audio doesn't work?

It shouldn't be the problem, SBC codec was in pipewire before and SBC is supported by everything. Maybe try disabling the Built-in Audio in pavucontrol under Configuration? @kkga

Thanks for the tip. Switching audio profiles back and force between HSP and then back to A2DP makes it work 👍
Have to do this every time I connect the headset or toggle mute though, but it works. Seems to be an issue of pipewire-pulse, because regular pulseaudio works without these workarounds.
