I wanted to give this a spin, but it’s seemingly not packaged in a meaningful way on Ubuntu yet. That is, there is no pipewire-pulse, pipewire-jack, etc.
Oh well. Maybe next version?

I got pulseaudio wrapped by pipewire-pulse, and applications launched and acted as if they produced audio (as opposed to being blocked), but I still couldn't get any sound.
Granted I have a complicated setup with a laptop with 2 HDMI outputs, 2 USB-soundcards, built-in headphone adapter and a built-in speaker.
Obviously that setup is going to take some configuration to get right, but with PulseAudio I could set it up pretty quickly with pavucontrol.
No such luck with PipeWire ... yet. I guess it will get there sooner or later :)
