Dear Maintainer,

Since my pipewire adoption, sound has many problems. I have installed -alsa,
-pulse and -jack, configuring them properly (I hope). I use many sounding
programs: firefox, mocp, ardour, mpv... and all fail one time or another,
without giving no clue about reason.

Problems can be volume changes in both stereo channels, annoying cracking on
youtuve videos or podcasts, films in mpv, flac files in mocp...

Pipewire is almost in 1.0 version. How can it fail so much in no many cases?

I configure mocp for using alsa; firefox uses pulseaudio, I supose. Any clue
about a solution to my problems?

Thanks.

After using for two days last pipewire version, sound seems more stable now,
with usual clicks when changing window focus, for example, but without cracking
in youtube videos or mpv films.

I hope it is so :)
