I am hoping for some guidance on if I should be using pipewiresrc (vs alsasrc) in my gstreamer pipeline.
From my understanding we fully switched over to PipeWire for managing audio devices in Fedora. To me, this means all "non-pipewire" interfaces (PulseAudio, ALSA, OSS, etc) are now using compatibility layers to plumb the audio to PipeWire. I presume that the "most correct" pipeline source object type to use is pipewiresrc. If the answer is to use pipewiresrc, how can I inspect the pipewire "devices" seen by gstreamer? `gst-device-monitor-1.0` only shows the expected PipeWire devices via the ALSA api. The upstream documentation indicates the devices should be listed as of 2 years ago https://github.com/PipeWire/pipewire/blob/master/README.md#running-gstreamer-applications ➜ gst-device-monitor-1.0 | grep pipewire <no output> ➜ gst-device-monitor-1.0 | grep pw <no output> ➜ gst-launch-1.0 -v pipewiresrc ! audioresample ! autoaudiosink Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
