Re: pipewire config
I'm not seeing a lot of discussion of pipewire as a system service. I
don't know if that's going to work; you would need to convince it to
attach to the system bus rather than the session dbus, and you'd need to
convince it to look for its server on the system dbus rather than
session dbus for clients.
It may support that.
A quick google search didn't yield good discussions of that.
But I did find discussion on the arch wiki of using pipewire with alsa
dmix devices. That will allow you to have pipewire running for multiple
users at once. Your audio quality will suffer over what you would get
with one pipewire instance, but it would for example allow you to use
espeakup as root/kernel and pipewire as user all at the same time.
I've never done this.
I just run pipewire as user and deal without espeakup.
Right now I'm using emacspeak for console applications, although I've
been meaning to look into brltty under gnome-terminal or similar.
Anyway take a look at 3.1.8 on
