A reminder for EOS xfce user (on pipewire)

pipewire version : 0.3.71-2
pipewire socket : /opt/pulse/pipee-socket

From pipewire 0.3.71 on, carla becomes difficult to use in pipewire server, especially in coping with piewire-jack.

In order to post a reply at the forum, today i upgrade EOS to 6.3.6-arch1-1 and try pipewire 0.3.71-2 by the way.
For more than three rounds, carla can not run successfully. (And it is the first time i met difficulties in EOS)
As other arch OSs (i always have at least 10 OSs at hand all in xfce), I do the followings and carla is good at two rounds of pipewire service-runs.

Carla is configured at ::

buffer=8192
sample rate = 44100
Xruns = 0

Linking in carla is as the followings:

celluloid - - - > Lv2_Airwindow-drumslam sink - - - > Lv2_EQ16-Highno sink - - - > Lv2_EQ16-Rock sink - - - > Lv2_EQ16-Soft - - - > Simultaneous sink - - - > USB audio Device stereo + HDMI Digital surround 7.1

The following sinks appear in pavucontrol, though i am not sure if all sinks work at the same time.

Lv2_EQ16-Reggae Sink Lv2_EQ16-Rock Sink Lv2_EQ16-Ska Sink Lv2_EQ16-Soft Sink Lv2_EQ16-Techno Sink Lv2_EQ16-Highno Sink surround-Lad Sink surround-lv2 Sink effect-surround-7.1 Sink crossover-Lv2 Sink exciter-calf Sink Lv2_Airwindow-Tube2 Sink Lv2_Airwindow-drumslam Sink Lv2_Airwindow-galactic Sink Lv2_Airwindow-hypersonic Sink Lv2_Airwindow-purestdrive Sink Lv2_Airwindow-slew Sink Lv2_Airwindow-srsly2 Sink Lv2_Airwindow-vibrato Sink Lv2_Airwindow-spiral Sink Lv2_Airwindow-focus Sink Simultaneous Sink

If you don’t need to do any self-creation in pipewire’s application and everything runs good in your use of pipewire, that means pipewire’s default configuration is good enough for you.
Just ignore this post.
