[Patrice Duroux]

Dear all,

Regarding the pulseaudio / pipewire conflict, may I suggest some points to try
to deal with part of it, mainly the ALSA client side.

1. the root/global configuration.

It should be possible to manage alternative sets for the one or the other, both
regarding the udev rules (if there is a conflict there between pulseaudio and
pipewire) and the ALSA client setting.

For instance, handling a /etc/alsa/conf.d/99-default.conf link to the file
provided by alsa-plugins (which is compatible both with pulseaudio or pipewire-
pulse) or to the one provided by pipewire-alsa (pipewire).

2. the user/session configuration.

Providing a documentation or a small (Debian) script to facilitate user to setup
a configuration in the userland ($HOME) using the ~/.asoundrc if it is possible
regarding libasound to set more or less the equivalent of the 99-X-default.conf

Am I wrong?

Regards,
Patrice
