Highlights
- Fix a critical bug that would refuse to update the samplerate or buffersize in JACK clients.
- A new module-netjack2-driver and module-netjack2-manager were added that are compatible with NETJACK2. This allows PipeWire to become a NETJACK2 manager or a driver between JACK2 or PipeWire servers.
- Support was added for firewire devices with FFADO. This is untested for now and MIDI is not implemented yet.
- The node scheduling was optimized some more. - External drivers are now as efficient as in-server ones. This should improve performance of various drivers such as bluetooth and JACK based drivers.
- Many, many bug fixes and a ton of improvements.
Really interesting that NETJACK2 is now part of pipewire. Did anyone ever play around with it? How usable is it as a FOSS alternative to Dante?
