This looks promising for Linux audio. I spent some time investigating the state of Linux audio servers a while back while diagnosing Bluetooth headset quality issues and ultimately opened this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/18...

Sounds like a lot of lessons have been learned from JACK, PulseAudio etc that have been factored in to the architecture of PipeWire. Maybe it really is the true coming of reliable Linux audio :)
