I switched to PipeWire some time ago. I don't have particularly complex
audio needs (just AUX/headphones on a desktop). When the system is
under load and the CPU throttled, I get choppy audio, which is
especially annoying when the load is caused by a video. That doesn't
happen with PulseAudio and setting the quantum to 2048 is a workaround.

   pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.force-quantum 2048 

Probably there are more of these sorts of issues, so I agree we should
switch to it by default sooner rather than later to find the problems.
