PipeWire can use a different buffer size to talk to the audio hardware via ALSA than when it talks to your JACK or PulseAudio-aware software. This lets it cut down on latency a bit. Pretty crazy.

I've been enlightened by a member of my community chat, Robbert about this. You may learn useful things about PipeWire by folowing this discussion I've had with him:

@unfa FYI that link does not work, you seem to have the same issue I have on my RC instance. For now I dont write links to the chat with a specific channel altogether.
Likely RC related bug.

@falktx Oh, darn. I think I've done this befroe and it worked. Not sure why not this time. Thanks for the headsup!
