pactl can only load pulseaudio modules (builtin in the pipewire pulse server). You load modules in the pipewire daemon by adding a config snippet in your user pipewire config directory or you can load the module outside of the server with pw-cli or so.

You write data into a buffer when you create the data, then as long as you don't need to change it you can pass it around between applications without copying.

If you need to do processing, you read from the old buffer, process and write to a new buffer.

PipeWire does not need to copy data, it uses fd-passing to avoid copies (and neither does wayland).

It depends on your hardware... If you see the different HDMI outputs in helvum or carla/catia, you can link them there. You can't to this with pavucontrol. You could also set up a combine sink:(docs.pipewire.org/devel/page_m...)

Discord on linux/wayland has a really annoying issue where if you try to share your desktop audio, it'll also share discord's output (since it just shares whatever is going through your headphones, kinda dumb)

today was the day i learned just how cool PipeWire is, you can just do this by default!??
