Live audio sink support on ALSA interface
Created by: illwieckz
I've read PipeWire is heavily inspired from PulseVideo, but to cover both video and audio needs instead. PulseVideo was heavily based on GStreamer and this one seems to do the same, which is a nice idea (I would do the same).
By the way, unless the fix was never advertised on that bug I opened 3 years ago on GStreamer's side, GStreamer is still unable to do live audio on ALSA interfaces (and was never able):
- 692953 alsasink does not synchronise properly with a live streaming source, yet (timing skew)
How PipeWire will handle that case? People usually recommend to use PulseAudio between GStreamer and ALSA to workaround the bug, but I guess making PulseAudio a PipeWire hard dependency would looks weird.
