Now that Fedora 35 is in beta and more people are testing it out, it appears that wireplumber does have some regressions compared to pipewire-media-session. Namely that audio output switching for flatpak applications does not work [1], and that desktop system sound volume (e.g. notification sounds) can not be controlled independently from the main system volume [2][3]. There is also an issue with changing bluetooth speaker volume [5]. From developer comments it may not be likely that all of these problems will be fixed in time for the F35 release, and the current workaround is to switch back to pipewire-media-session [4]. Clearly this is late in the release cycle, but I am concerned that wireplumber will provide an overall worse audio experience for F35 users. So ultimately I am asking if we should re-evaluate whether or not wireplumber should be the default pipewire session manager for F35. Are there other features landing in F35 that specifically depend on wireplumber, and if so do they outweigh the currently known regressions?
