What are the main differences between pipewire and pulseaudio? Which one is better? What are other alternative popular sound servers besides these two?

    which must be used in conjunction with Pulseaudio

    Why? Just why?

    any kind of multimedia work, it doesn’t really matter and you can just stick with whatever comes pre-configured on your distro. But my vote goes to Pipewire as the best server for pretty much anyone.

    Or gaming. PulseAudio has insane latency. Use JACK or no server(that means use ALSA). Maybe Pipewire has tolerable latency, but I didn’t test it myself.
