KPipeWire is a simplified abstraction library for using PipeWire (with FFmpeg for recording video) in Qt apps. Switching Spectacle to regular PipeWire would be more work than adding audio support to KPipeWire because we'd have to reimplement support for what we already have and still have to implement audio support. Audio and video frames aren't automatically mixed together by PipeWire just because PipeWire can handle audio and video, so it's not like there's an easy way out of implementing audio recording support somewhere. We're constrained because there is currently nobody available with the right kind of skills to do the work of implementing audio support. This problem would still exist with or without KPipeWire. Maybe someday somebody will have the time and skills required to do it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
