Lower latency is one of the design goals for Pipewire, so almost certainly yes. How much lower latency may be a different matter.



I’ve been wanting to experiment with some hard-coded low-level (asm/C/rust) Bluetooth on a microcontroller to experimentally/empirically determine the lowest possible Bluetooth audio delay for some time (getting rid of all encoding, context switching, garbage collection, etc etc overhead). ~~I think~~ it’s fundamentally a laggy approach to audio streaming because of the packetization that takes place, but it shouldn’t be to the extent that it is so immediately noticeable.


Sometimes constant latency is more important than minimal latency.
