Bug#1091994: meterbridge: jackd dependency should be softened since pipewire can fit
Package: meterbridge
Version: 0.9.2-13+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Apparently, meterbridge can be used with pipewire-jack which allows replacing a Jack server with pipewire.
Thus, the dependency on jackd could be softened, IMHO.
Maybe this could be handled globally by pipewire-jack providing some kind of jack-daemon / jackd replacement in dpkg...
Hope this makes sense, and helps.
In the meantime, it's possible to install with dpkg --ignore-depends, but that's largely suboptimal.
Best regards,
