PipeWire is fantastic already, and I can't wait for it to take Linux audio to where it should and can be!

I've got my broken mess of a configuration for alsa, mpd, mpv, Firefox and pulseaudio all working again after a long, broken spell.

The only thing I haven't gotten working is the upmixing of channels for 5.1/7.1 audio channel movies on mpv. Currently I rely on my alsa upmixing setup in ~/.asoundrc but am looking forward to having that work with Pipewire alone, hopefully soon.

Yes, documentation for pipewire is sparse, and I'm surprised all/most links I see go to pipewire.org, which is where it is sparse. The useful one is here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/wikis/hom...
