Now I can listen to my tunes, playlists, and audio books at my desk, in the kitchen while cooking, or in the back yard while swimming. Then, just for fun and to run pipewire on VM guests, I switched my desktop from Pulseaudio to Pipewire, which is easy on some distros but difficult on Void Linux, giving me the opportunity to learn a little more about Pipewire. Wednesday night I'll reveal some of the things I discovered while doing some of this sound stuff. Even if you have a laptop with built-in Bluetooth and run a Pipewire native distro, you'll learn some interesting things about Linux sound. Hope to see you there.
