Package: pipewire-jack
Version: 1.0.3-1
Severity: normal
In my point of view it is not clearly understandable fromthe package
desciptions or package docs how pipewire-jack and libspa-0.2-jack relate. I
understood that pipewire-jack, aside from being a plugin, is a implementation
of a JACK server based on JACK API and pipewire. And, I understood
libspa-0.2-jack is a lib which is needed for pipewire to connect to a JACK
server. These are two different things imho.
But I learned that JACK client applications can not connect to pipewire-jack
when libspa-0.2-jack is not installed. Thus, libspa-0.2-jack is too needed when
JACK clients want to connect to pipewire-jack, basically making it a
dependency?
Maybe I am wrong, but more details in the package descriptions could clarify
things a bid more. Tried with https://wiki.debian.org/PipeWire, but that was
not clear either on how to deal with JACK native vs. JACK Pipewire setups.
