Bug#1107132: Mate Core: Package should depend on pipewire-audio



Hi everyone,

Some of us still prefer PulseAudio. Could the default MATE Desktop installation continue to use it, or at least offer it as an option?

The “audiophile” configuration provides very good audio quality, but the current defaults are much lower. You might consider applying these settings by default (or suggesting them upstream to the PulseAudio maintainers):

; PulseAudio “audiophile” settings
default-sample-format = s24le
default-sample-rate = 44100
alternate-sample-rate = 48000
avoid-resampling = true
resample-method = speex-float-5

Best regards,

so pulling in pipewire-audio via mate-core is sufficient? Or do we 
need to adjust other packages, too?
