      When did PulseAudio become "the past"? Man I'm old.

        Highly suggest the app PulseEffects if you're using PulseAudio. Awesome program that allows you to use any preset or settings/equalizer on all of your games, video, apps that use PulseAudio. Game changer.

        Can have it run as a daemon, and then even change presets on the fly.

        $ pulseeffects -l bass
        $ pulseeffects -l game

          Agreed. Wayland 1.0 was released almost 6 years ago. I know it's a hard problem, but man do things move slowly.
          At this rate, would it be stupid to believe Pipewire will be stable and broadly installed on Linux distros by 2021?

              I don't expect PipeWire to end up replacing PulseAudio until way into the future, but I do expect to see it appearing as a secondary audio router - and video router - for use in sandboxed applications before that.

                I know; remember the "ALSA is superior to Pulseaudio" debates that used to rage?

                  Heh. Which was silly because PulseAudio uses ALSA. It was the ALSA sound drivers, each broken in their own special way, that made Pulse so messy.

                    And it's weird because people that use Linux spend so much money to fund all the developers who work on these technologies, and also spend lots of time and effort contributing code and QA.

                    Oh wait...
