Adding a reception section already?[edit]

PipeWire has gotten a massive amount of attention in the Linux community, specifically Arch Linux. And the reason it's such a big deal is because it fixes a load of problems PulseAudio has (The Arch Wiki page for PA has around 80 total "troubleshooting" sections, counting all subpages. PipeWire has one) while providing good video streaming. Would it be fine to add a "reception" page this early even though it's not yet production ready? Also, the thing about replacing PulseAudio should be a main focus point. Everyone's talking about it being like "PulseAudio but better".Swirl0 (talk) 13:59, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Swirl0: What's holding you back? Just add one with proper references. --FunkyMartian (talk) 22:15, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mostly the fact that most if not all of the praise I saw was on the r/archlinux subreddit, and I forgot to save those posts. Did see some activity on the Arch forums about PipeWire recently though, so I'll check that later Swirl0 (talk) 22:30, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Swirl0: Random forum posts are not permitted as reference of Wikipedia. You need to find actual reviews. --FunkyMartian (talk) 15:52, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is talking about user reception. No "big" Linux sites ever talk about how good it is, just about how to set it up, replacing PA with it, etc. while users are all talking about how good it isSwirl0 (talk) 22:56, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to point out that there seems to be some confusion regarding the "replaces" aspect. As I mentioned here, it looks like it does not actually replace PulseAudio in PKGBUILD terms (as previous versions of the article implied). I had previously made an edit on this topic, but upon reviewing it today I discovered that the confusion went deeper than I first thought. I took the liberty of merging away the paragraph, as using the community hype as a source doesn't seem very encyclopedic anyway, but feel free to revert+edit if there is opportunity to expand on that with the above confusion out of the way :) --Vladimir (talk) 05:37, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WirePlumber[edit]

What is WirePlumber? --2001:16B8:2CF9:8400:6EB3:11FF:FE52:1BA8 (talk) 22:16, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Stable Version?[edit]

I couldn't find anything to suggest that 0.3.64 was a stable version any more than e.g, 0.3.65 and 0.3.66 are. Why is it marked as being stable? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PipeWire&oldid=1133150746 Were491 (talk) 16:03, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The "stable version" was added in this edit probably without realizing that the "preview version" from Wikidata is just as stable. I fixed it to only show the most recent version. Dexxor (talk) 13:31, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Removed tone cleanup tag[edit]

Hi all, I have gone ahead and removed the tone cleanup tag, as the article is now substantially better than it was in June 2019 when the tag was added. (diff) Wysholp 🧊 (talk) 23:06, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
