One of the issue preventing #LinuxMobile distros from shipping a #PipeWire / #libcamera camera stack is the fact that it requires #wireplumber as session manager, which again does not always play nicely with #pulseaudio, if that is still used as sound server.
Unfortunately switching to PW for sound is not always possible yet because some mobile-specific packages depend on PA. So if you want to help with camera enablement, please consider helping with issues such as https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/wys/-/issues/13 :)
@rmader why don't they remove pulseaudio. pipewire is supposed to be a drop in replacement....
@hub See the linked project - in almost all cases PW is a drop-in replacement, but there are a few exceptions.
@rmader Would be good to get some more details on what's missing -- PipeWire provides a PulseAudio compatible module-loopback, and the rest of it seems like standard libpulse client things that should also Just Work
@arun I have to admit that I didn't have a deeper look myself. AFAIK something about wys does not work with PW yet - maybe it just needs a bit of debugging / some small fixes.
So in case you have a device like the librem5 or the (P)PP and would consider giving it a look - that would be absolutely awesome. I'd gladly assist wherever I can, just don't have the cycles to open another project atm. :)
@rmader ack, I don't have such a device and in a similar boat with adding projects to the todo list, but please feel free to holler at me if anything comes up
