 |
|
1. Install PipeWire
| Code: | ~ $ emerge -avtp pipewire
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] media-video/pipewire-0.3.20:0/0.3::gentoo USE="X ffmpeg pulseaudio vulkan -bluetooth -debug -doc -gstreamer -jack -systemd -test" 0 KiB
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 KiB
|
2. Disable PulseAudio autostart
| Code: | ~ $ grep -i spawn /etc/pulse/client.conf
autospawn = no |
3. Enable PipiWire-Pulse
| Code: | ~ $ cat /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf
...
#
# You can optionally start the pulseaudio-server here as well
# but it better to start it as a systemd service.
# It can be interesting to start another daemon here that listens
# on another address with the -a option (eg. -a tcp:4713)
#
"/usr/bin/pipewire-pulse" = { "#args" = "-a tcp:4713" }
}
|
4. Add PipeWire to AutoStart.
| Code: | ~ $ cat .xinitrc
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/pipewire &
KWIN_USE_INTEL_SWAP_EVENT=1 exec /usr/bin/startplasma-x11 |
| Code: | ~ $ ps aux | grep -i pulse
user+ 3575 0.2 0.1 100584 25768 tty1 SLl 12:26 0:19 /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse
user+ 26639 0.0 0.0 8508 572 pts/1 S+ 14:39 0:00 grep --colour=auto -i pulse |
