I’ve been using Pipewire for a while, it was great because I could use my Bluetooth headset with a better audio Codec than in Pulseaudio. Unfortunately, my headset stopped working one day suddenly with Pipewire. (maybe after a dist-upgrade?) No amount of disconnecting, unbonding etc. would work. Went back to Pulseaudio as a sound server. Sad.

Neither Pulseaudio nor Pipewire remember to use by screen speakers (hdmi) as default, though. It always switches back to the internal sound card.

Oh? Another embedded programmer? This behavior pains me as well.

Yeah, INWX is nice, it even has a nice API… Well, okay, an API. Also, no automatic credit card charges, it’s kind of an “prepaid” account.
