today in #fedora qa:
* finished up investigating bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.c , turns out to be #pipewire 's fault
* updated some #openqa needles for failed #rawhide / 42 tests
* got oauth2 authentication working on staging openqa, this was a bit of a trek but I got there...filed github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/ along the way, not sure it's entirely correct

bugzilla.redhat.com2355207 – Remote install via RDP fails (client either drops connection immediately or hangs at a white screen) since Fedora-42-20250316.n.0

PipeWire 1.4 Is Out with RISC-V Support, MIDI2 Support, JACK Control API, and More

Highlights of PipeWire 1.4 include support for the RISC-V CPU architecture, a PipeWire JACK control API, DSD playback for the ALSA plugin, a system service for pipewire-pulse, Bluetooth support for BAP broadcast links, support for hearing aids using ASHA, a new G722 codec, and UMP (aka MIDI2) support.

So here's the thing: I'd really love to use #Ardour for my next album, cause I don't want to continue working with something from a company sucking up to America's regime

Only problem is: I can't

I'm using 3 different audio interfaces via #pipewire 1.2.4, and Ardour keeps on forgetting USB audio and MIDI connections over restarts (or suspends), forcing me to make each connection again, which sucks.

First person to solve this for me gets a present and a special credit in the liner notes.

@QuadRadical @linmob @PierreBucheli Both Cheese and Snapshot use #Gstreamer (which provides all the elements for video/audio capture etc), which again - if available - uses #pipewire (as client, to connect to the PW server) which again uses its #libcamera plugin to provide the content.
Generally speaking Snapshot is a rewrite of Cheese, using more modern elements like the gtk4paintablesink for the viewfinder - shared with e.g. the Showtime and Livi video players.

Does anybody know a good way to set default audio device in #pipewire for a application? I usually use Pavucontrol, but this particular application pauses its stream when it's in background. I found a statefile that has all the saved states, but when I modify it, the changes are reverted.
