Linux audio is hard. Can we create a tool that would set up any Linux system to work with audio with no user knowledge required? Can we make it "just work" for new users?

@unfa I think long-term this will pass through pipewire.
If it has a good configuration tool, it will basically "just work".
You don't need to care about alsa, or pulseaudio, or jack.
I specially like that there is no setup required in order to support multiple audio cards.
@falktx So you say PipeWire is the solution? But can it be used already? Can I use it to make music with Ardour and watch videos online?
@unfa maybe.. but there are some tools missing and needs more time to mature.
I would not trust it to run a big application like Ardour at this point.
PipeWire is like Wayland, it is coming and for some people (mostly Gnome/Fedora folks) it is already there. But still needs more time before it works well for everyone, everywhere.
