From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

PipeWire 0.3.77 (2023-08-04)

This is a quick bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible with previous 0.3.x releases.

Highlights

Fix a bug in ALSA source where the available number of samples was miscaluclated and resulted in xruns in some cases.
A new L permission was added to make it possible to force a link between nodes even when the nodes can't see each other.
The VBAN module now supports midi send and receive as well.
Many cleanups and small fixes.

All of the following is speculation on my side and just stated as fact for easier reading / writing.

Because through the years I never had problems with plain Alsa on the same hardware

Because it did not allow for the functionality that exposed those bugs (as in PulseAudio provided features that should work according to documentation, but didn't)

I don’t have problems with pipewire either on that hardware.

Because these bugs got fixed after PulseAudio exposed them.
